Well you shouldn't be changing the resolution, but because I had a small widescreen monitor the default resolution changed to 1440x900, so if I ran it at 1280x1024 or similar I would have gotten a slightly lower score, probably in the 13K range.

how do you set ram timings manually? is it the inp/pnp configuration or something like that? and you set all three of them to four?

You manually set them in the BIOS, where exactly depends on your motherboard. And the timings are directly effected by the speed of the RAM, for instance having timings of 4-4-4-12 may be fine for DDR2 800 RAM, but not DDR2 1200 RAM.

Nice, you should be able to do around 830 core for everyday use. I benchmark my cards at 877 core

If yours can do it, and don't have the locked bios at 860

Err...I did mine last night and only scored like 5900 +/- at 1400 X 900 resolution. Is that weak? It seems weak. How can I up my performance with my system? Nothing is overclocked in mine.

That is horrible! You should be getting a much higher score then that with a quad core and 8800GT, you should be in the 9-10K range.

did you use the driver thingy to overclock your grafic's card(s)?
