Im also running it with Vista, on XP Im told I would get about 2000 more.

So does the score look about right?

No way, you should be getting much better scores with two 8800 Ultra's and a quad core. For a reference, I had a Q6600 and a single 2900XT and I got around 14,000 points in 3DMark06 under Vista.

What could be causing it? maybe SLI not setup properly? How can I find out whats causing it?

With your quad at only 3.0Ghz, thats about right. When mep916 had his ultra's, he couldn't get a much higher score than that.

Overclock that quad to about 3.5Ghz and more to see some real results.

I've tried, it wont go any further, apparently theres a problem with the northbridge on my board, anyone know of a work around?

Just wondering, I've started getting "display driver nvlddmkm has stopped responding and recovered" my screen flickers during gaming but doesnt return to normal, I have to restart. Is this related?

no, don't use nTune at all, it can and will make your computer unstable. Only overclock in your bios!!

Yeah, my scores were pretty low for that setup. Like 15,000ish. Anyway, Deathrow, you should be able to get to 3.4-3.6 with that proc. Do you know how to OC within the BIOS?

Yeah but over 3GHz it wont boot into windows no matter how much I change voltages

Are you linking the Memory Frequency with the CPU? You could be overclocking your memory too high...

Ulinked atm, timings are 5 5 5 15 2T whilst overclocking, 800MHz.

Currently on 3.21 with 1.35 vcore, 1.45 vtt and 1.45 fsb.

How far should I push the temps? 1.5 vcore, 1.50 vtt and 1.50 fsb?
