What do you guys get? List your system, video cards, and how many crossfire bridges you use.

wow your lucky. i wish i had a quad core.
I'm only getting a wimpy 13,100 maybe my processor?
EDIT: I'm turning my fans to max, and running overdrive again for max tuning (it works well, ok?)
i should be able to get at least 850 on the core and 900 on the memory with max fans.

I get 14096 with everthing overclocked. Specifications are in signature. 2 bridges.
13100 is not bad for dual core. Honestly, 3dMark06 is way too CPU dependent. Intel paid Futuremark a bunch of money to have them push quad core CPUs on people by making people with dual cores feel inadequate. If the Intel logos all over the place in the application aren't indication enough, I don't know what is. I had to tweak the hell out of my PC and cards to get 14,000 and the system was NOT stable at those speeds. Just stable enough for benchmarking.
My score would be a LOT higher if I had a quad core. However, the only point of upgrading for me would be to stroke my own ego and I'm not sure that's worth $250.

yeah you do have a valid point there 
the other thing is I only hve 2 gigs of RAM, and I'm running Vista, that could also be bttlenecking.
annyways I re overclocked my 2900XT's. 837/864 on both cards, i got 13,049 i'm sure it can vary, so i figure about 13,100 is about right.
bumpin my RAM would definitly boost my entire system.
and yes 3dmark sucks as an actual "benchmark" really.
i need to get my processor to 3.4 I am determined

17361
e8400@4ghz 24/7
2gb ram
hd 3850 512mb crossfire 700/870
17600 with a quadcore at 3.4ghz in same system
i get higher frame rates with dual core at 4ghz. the overall score is driven up by the cpu score for the quad, 5k. dual gets like 3600
3.4 on the 1mb cache cpu's is about as fast as 3.0 on the 4mb cache cpu's. it makes a difference in gaming benchmarks.

1 bridge... just so u know... (at least this is how it worked in my case)if you use 2 bridges pci-e drops to 8x on one of the cards... im assuming this happens because on my mobo only one card is 16x in triple card crossfire... as soon as i took the second bridge off it went to 16x though... and for the record, my 3DMark score jumped a whopping 30 marks...
