I just downloaded and ran 3d mark and got a score around 7000 i was wondering wat an average computer or above average computer would normally score..i hope my computer is worth the big bucks i spent on it...

yeah, which 3dmark is it?
there's 2001, 03, 05 and 06

and what's your hardware?

 

[keyser09]

im using the 2006 professional one (paid for)
my computer is like this
asus m2n32 deluxe sli
amd athlon 4800 duel core 2.4ghz
2 gb of value pack corsair ram (2 1gigs)
couple hard drives 160 and 320
dvd burner lg lightscribe
geforce 7950 gx2 (not the factory overclocked 1)
Samurai titanoum raidmax case 420 psu
windows professional

and i was wondering if you could tell me if my computer was a 64 bit or the 32 one

 

[FlashDude]

ummm an athlon 64 I would guess 64bit,, But you are probably running 32 bit windows.

 

[keyser09]

oooo so i would need vista for 64?noooo wonder ...

 

[FlashDude]

You don't have to, 32bit vista will work fine. And in fact the 64bit drivers for your hardware CAN be a little harder to come by.

i submitted my score to the website my system is in the top 25 thousand out of 430 thousand but with computers with similar specs my computer is close to the bottom..it says i dont have my settings and stuff set up as well as they can be...somethingto do with drivers.

Are they up to date? If not, download the latest drivers. And it's hard to believe you're running your system on a 420W power supply. You should be using somewhere like 550W+.
