I've had my computer built for about 8 months solid now, and it runs great. I get high fps in games like Vice City, CSS/HL2, Max Payne 2, even when I turn up AA/AF and whatnot. But when I run 3DMark05, I get a grand total of 1500 some odd marks, which seems to be half what I should be.

I didn't get a chance to upload my 05 scores, but those are for PCMark and 04. I have the following setup:

Abit IC7-G
P4C 2.8
2x512 Corsair XMS PC3200
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
40GB ATA100 Maxtor (System)
2x120GB SATA Samsung in RAID1 (Data)
80GB ATA100 WD (Video Cache
Audigy 2 ZS

Everything is running at stock speeds, no OC'ing involved, and like I said, with everything turned up it still runs decently, but I'm just wondering if I'm perhaps not getting what I should be. Also, there's a question as to why my FSB shows up as 200mhz on Futuremark's site and in their tests, when I know for darn sure it's running at 800mhz.

Any suggestions?
 
3dmark05 is all videocard. Its your videocard holding you back. Ocing the cpu another 800mhz(3.6) would probably only net you a couple hundred points.
 
I've compared to Dell stock systems in their database that have the same videocard, and they're showing 2500-3000 marks, almost twice mine.
