3dmark2001 score 17123, with the 512 stick only its 18359, is this good for my system?
btw i ran the sandra benchmarks, and my memory bandwidth is only running 39% any help for this? or is it my ram? i can return the ram if needed.

Guess my nice shiny new 7800GT (430/1200) helps somewhat eh?
I was getting just under 5200 with my previous card in 05 with an X800XL so thats around a 40% boost
Hopefully when I get my new X2 4200+ CPU in a week or so the 2001SE scores should be even higher. But perhaps not, you never really know.
I thought I was too, but a number of things made me change my mind like the need to get an entirely new mobo if I ever wanted to run crossfire (I allready have an SLi board), the increased price and the whole 'I gotta have something NOW' thing.
Hey mrc welcome to sysopt. FYI we do have a '05 thread to post in. Anyway, what's your settings on your rig? For your set up I'd think you would be getting a higher score.
I have a AMD X2 3800 oc'd to 2.5 and a X850XT AGP and score over 6300.
