I have pretty much the exact set up as you and only get 13500 and my video card is overclocked a bit more than yours 460/340. The only other difference is my ram timings 8,4,4,2.5 which can't possibley make up 3000 more points. Either there's something really wrong with my pc or you miss typed that score.
Anyone get a simmilar score? If so I need some help configuring my bios settings.
3D01 loves memory bandwidth, and your extremely lax timings are really hurting you there. Up the voltage and drop the timings.
This is where my signature would go if I wasn't so lazy.

I'm not sure that I can get any more out of it. It's kingsmax pc-3200, not the highest quality of ram but was all I could afford. Does the trick fine when playing games, but I guess it sucks for benchmarking.
Any suggestions on what my timings should be/ can be with this ram? Is thier any sites that show the specs of different ram manufacturers?

Are you more concerned with benchmarking...or playing games.
Sounds like this is a self answered one...

Nobody is forcing you to keep the timings at the settings your motherboard automatically put them at. Play around with it some and see what's stable. You can bump the vdimm setting up to 2.8-2.9V and be fine.

Nice, upgraded from that weak Antec 380 to the more solid Fortron 350.

Sorry...crashman...but I bet if you spec'd out both those PSUs...they'd be within a few watts of eachother.
Antec and Fortron are known for actually underrating their PSUs...
-
Real world testing will show the Fortron 350 goes around 410W, while the Antec 380 goes around 390W. I just like picking on Antec because:
1.) I've had several of their lower budget supplies **** out far below their rating, they started loosing voltage at around 70% rated load.
2.) Their better True Power series (and related supplies using the same internals) are overpriced
3.) They are way over-recommended.

i've had decent luck with generic psu's. but i'm not exactly running a radeon
9800 pro and tons of hdd's either...

Hail to the Victors
That's one route I won't go...spazz.
In a lot of cases, when the PSU goes.....it takes the mobo/AGP/RAM with it...one or the other(s) that is....
I'd rather not take that chance...
But....I do see your point!!

Nice setup, but Im curious about the cpu oc though. I have a 2100+ TBred B running at 2171MHz (166FSB 13x). I would think that you should be able to run that thing a little higher, but I could be wrong. I'm getting 8175MIPS ins Sandra 2004 CPU Arithmetic. My setup is actually really cheap
Generic case with 120mm (side) and 80mm (front) intake fans, 80mm (rear)and Slot Blower fans
CG 500w PSU
ABIT NF7 w/ stock NB sink and Vantec copper SB sink
OnBoard Realtek AC'97 Sound
Athlon XP 2100+ Tbred B OC'ed to 2.171GHz (166MHz x 13)
Thermaltake Volcano 9 HSF @ ~5192RPM
Radeon 9500 PRO 128MB at stock speed
768MB ultra-generic PC2700 DDR Ram
120MB Seagate 7200RPM 8MB UATA
Liteon LTN526D CD-ROM
Optorite CW4801 CD-RW
Optorite DD0201 DVD±RW
I can't complain about anything, performance is great and stabilty is rock solid. Temps average about 42 idle and 47 load. I'd post 3DMark scores but I don't use them.. My next purchase will be 400MHz DDR so I can up the FSB to 200 and see what this puppy will REALLY do

It'll do 2.4GHz with 1.85V, but I'm limited slightly by my low RPM CPU fan - temps becomes a bit of an issue. I'll take relative quiet over another 100MHz
