Looks like I answered my own question. After reading here I saw someone say "the second time through timedemo" and I tried running Timedemo "Demo1" a second time in the same doom 3 session. Previously I had been exiting doom and restarting it each time as I made BIOS tweaks. Now if I run the...
I spent the evening running some 3DMark2003 tests. I average about 9770 3Dmarks, but the CPU test are usually 13.5fps and 8.5fps for the two tests (if that's any indication of whether or not the CPU is the bottleneck).

Spicey,
I've got the latest BIOS on the system. It's actually the 3rd time I've upgraded it, always the first thing I do with any new hardware, hit the manufact site for the latest drivers.

The P4S8X is an SiS chipset:
SiS 648 North Bridge

GeForce 6800GT
WinXP SP2
