See sig.

I only get about 16k at best for 3dMark 2001SE, and about 5100 for 3dMark 03'. Shouldnt I get at least 17000?

Idle temp is 30C.
 
I just did a quick search at Futuremark and the 3dmark 2001SE there seems to be many more people with scores in the 16k range. The people that you do see in the 17k and couple in the 18k probably o/c their cards and did some performance tweakings. I would say your scores are just fine. Have updated drivers or optimum drivers and you'll might get a little higher. O/Cing will get you another 1k or more.
 
3dmark's kinda more of a synthetic benchmark, rather than a benchmark of real-world performance anyway-- it's good for short-term "HOLY CRAP" stuff, i.e. HOLY CRAP! YOU GOT 16k?! :p
 
who cares what score you get, it should matter on how good it looks to you, as long as you are getting high fsp dont worry about it.
 
i "benchmark" with a program called FRAPS.

open fraps, set it to save FPS every second in a text file. Run an ati demo

OC or declock your video card and then repeat.

open the files up with notepad and compare FPS values.
