Low 3DMark06 Score

[jayn1321]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I am getting such a low score for 3DMark06 compared to other similar systems...

My system is:

Gigabyte P45 UD3R
Intel Quad Q6600 Kentsfield
OCZ Reaper 4GB DDR2 800Mhz
EVGA NVIDIA GTX 260 Core 216
WD Black 640gb
Xigmatek Cooler
PC Power & Cooling 750w

All at default/stock speed (No overclocking)

The score I get is 113xx usually. I run it on default. Comparable scores are 13000+.
SM 2.0 Score 4717
SM 3.0 Score 5555
CPU Score 3336


Thank you in advance
