Thanks for the responses, sonds like the 7300 GS being the culprit is the consensus. I will wait until I get the new card and post the new numbers.
A few things though: TommyCompton suggested shutting down a lot of other stuff to run the benchmark; is that helpful? Also, I have the most recent AMD Dual Core Optimizer installed, do I have t worry about the xp/dual core "hotfix" issue?

that depends what you have running and what system you are marking, it could make a world of difference.

Well I got my new card (XFX GeForce 7600 GT) and it made all the difference.
My new marks, with no overclocking, are: 3D Marks of 3496 SM2.0 of 1419 HDR/SM3.0 of 1301 CPU Score of 1655

Whats your FX-60 clocked at? That seems really high, especially since Fade2Green's X2 3800+ @ 2.6ghz didnt even reach 2K.
