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?

yup it will help with your cpu score to turn a few background processes off, and some people use both the hotfix and the optimizer and report good results. you will have to alter the registry if you want cool and quiet to still work.

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

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