Your link takes us to a log in page where we need user name and password. You also would need to post your system specs and what not so we could know what might help your scores

Not sure what the "Video Magic" card is but I would highly suspect that is why your score is that low. Just for comparison I have an XP1700+ and a Gainward TI200 vid card and score right aroutn 8000 in 3dMark.

Yep I would agree with Dad, get that Video card out of your rig and get a kick ass number!

I had some issues with low 3Dmark scores - until I got me a geforce 4 Ti4400. I'm a-flying now baby!!!

Scores in the 9000's, and still more tweaking to be done! I'm hoping to get above 10000 at some point soon.

Of course all the 3dmark score does is make you compare your setup with everyone elses for prestige more than anything. It doesn't really matter as long as you get good gameplay out of your rig, right?
