gforce fx5500 a fraud?

[google]

please,but please help me with this:
i have this card from palit:gforce fx 5500 256/128 (???) and the tests results from 3dmark2003 is 1365. the results with 3dmark2001 6400
y 've done a test with aida 32 and it said i have a 64 bits memory bus!!!!
how is that possible????and what do you think about 1365 score?is small ?
i've paid 100$ for this card

- $100 is about right for the card
- The GFX5500 was a very short-lived video chip. It sat in the precarious position between the GFX5200 and what was then the GFX5600. The current midrange card is the GFX5700. It wasnt supposed to deliver groundbreaking performance (especially if you consider a bunch of models didnt ship with a fan)

Unfortunately with a modest budget im stuck with a 5500 as well. Not to bad though but who am i to tell. If you want to get a little more out of your card get this coolbits utility http://www.softpedia.com/public/scripts/downloadhero/12-1-31/
it will allow you to change the clock frequencies of your cards memory and core. You should hit the autodetect button and let the card determine where it can safely run. mine gave me a 317 mhz core and 496 mhz memory clock so i upped the core to 325 and the memory to 500 so now its the equivalent of a fx 5600.
