not too bad eh? finally got a processor that can feed my gtx275 (720 mhz oc)
going to run amd overdrive since my bios only lets me do 7% overclock. hopefully i can push to 3.4 or so, its running darn cold at 3.0ghz
im excited!

here's mine,...don't mind 3dmark06 reading my oc'ed E5200 at 4.1ghz,..it seems to be a bios problem. If set my fsb above 333mhz, it shows false readings. I included cpu-z in my screenshot to show the actual speed of my processor.

FatBack Your close to my score
I got 10975 in my 3DMark06
*Specs Below*
There is no way you have a 4890 and a better CPU plus more RAM. My CPU is at stock speeds and my RAM is only running at 400MHz because any higher and I get BSOD's. I think there might be something wrong with your computer. Your CPU might be bottle necking your GPU that's the only thing I can guess.

One problem ive never tried overclocking in my life.. Haha ill have a try though i mean you have to start somewhere ay?
EDIT: HAHAHAAHA OMG Ive just found out why im not getting the best results i can! Silly me The ATi 4890 is for PCI Express x16 2.0 right? I only Have PCI Express 1.0 How silly am i! Time for a mobo upgrade! MOBO RECOMENDATIONS PLEASE! Oh and no budget! And it must support the AMD Phenom! (Spec below) Not to bothered about Ram i can always get more <3

I don't think it matters if your PCIe is 1.0 or 2.0 they are backwards compatible. That might be the reason you get less benchmarks but probably not less performance. If you still won't a new motherboard I suggest the ASUS M4A78 Plus. I have the M4A78-EM and I love it. It can support every AMD CPU from like the past 4 years. I like knowing if something ever happens to my phenom I can just pop an old athlon 64 4400+ in there. That is just to get it running to I get something better.

I would look at another brand like ASUS, Gigabyte, or MSI. DFI and biostar make some of the worst motherboards.
