Interesting 3DMark06 score
I posted about this in the benchmarking thread, but now it's escalated to a problem I as yet have not solved and am mildly concerned about.
Look at the system in my sig. I imagine it would be capable of doing at least 14k, however it is limited to 10100 or so at the moment, and I can not for the life of me figure out why.
I was running v169.28 forcewares before, but upgraded to the inf-modded 174.16 drivers for the 9600GT. They yielded a moderate improvement, and are available for transfer via AIM/MSN/ICQ/Gtalk if you happen to want them.
I notice that the GPU is slightly overclocked and the VRAM slightly underclocked, I suppose the net effect is zero. Here's a GPU-Z shot:
Lastly, my copy of WinXP is running build 3264 of SP3. At this point, I'm beginning to think it is the culprit as I am running out of solutions. Thoughts?

EDIT: Uploaded sensors
I've been looking to get SP3 for XP, I downloaded it from the microsoft website but I don't know how to install it :banghead: As soon as I get it running I'll do a benchmark and see if I get the same problem.
EDIT 2: Being the genius I am I finally figured out how to install it ¬_¬
What is everyone's timings set to? Thats quite a bit of difference unless it was tRD especially with the 200MHZ difference in CPU speed.
I know this is a X48 article and I dont know if tRD is available on the P35/650i boards you guys have but it makes a nice difference with everything else set the same:

Thrax, I have the 8800GTS 320, let me see if I have stock benchies somewhere.
EDIT: Ok...I found this, stock settings for CPU, so I expect your 10xxx is about right:
