You can raise the VCore up to 1.5. That should get you to 3.6 GHz. Watch your temps, though. I don't remember what the default MCH and CPU FSB voltages are with the 680i, but you shouldn't need a high increase.

Is my score of 11,500 acceptable for my setup?

That just goes to show how pointless having SLI can be in some cases, your two 8800 Ultra's arent that much better then a single one, lol.

That's right. I don't think I'll ever spend that kind of money (on graphics adapters) again. My 3870 X2 is better with gaming and gave me a higher 3DMark06 score.

it seems a little low, but i would mostly blame that on the processor. what score does your cpu get? mine gets about 2600, for comparison.

I got 12,400 with a bit of overclocking. I can't figure out how to post the screen shot though. does it need to be hosted online?

i c.
too bad, these e4500's are special i guess, in the way that they need no extra voltage to hit 3ghz, and thats only 1066fsb... i guess you could always buy a q6600 and blow my score out of the water!
