that score is about 1,000 lower than the avg benchmarks for a 9600 pro, although your system setup can have a lot to do with it (slow ram timings) which i suspect you have the kinston value ram.
I can get about 26k if I wanted to, right now I've setm y CPU clock back to 2.8 and videocard stock because I want to preserve the components and without being OC'd it's more than enough for me.
