Help with benchmarking please.

Hi all,

I am new to running hardware with the aim of overclocking, and in need of some dire help...

My machine is currently BULK standard with the below attached to it:

P4 CeleronD 2.8Ghz
768mb PC2700
256mb XFX Nvidia FX5700LE
20GB Quantum Fireball HDD
3GB Quantum Fireball HDD


But to start with, I would of thought it would be best getting the machine running aswell as it can with doing anything to it.

Hence i did a 3DMark04 test and got an amazing score of 397...

I aint completely sure, but shudn't i get scores like that off the older ISA video cards?!?

All my games seem to be running ok with good results at 1028x768, with full graphic options, except for MOH Pacific Assault which i have had to reduce to 800x600 (others DOOM3, Half Life 2, Need for Speed Underground 2)

I had nothing running in the background when I did this test, infact, it was after a fresh reboot!!! I would of thought my specs would of been good enough to get it into the 10k's, or am i being a bit ambitious?

Cheers guys/gals.

PS, I hope you all had a really good christmas, and got everything you want and needed, I DID
