Yeah, me too. I am getting really low number. I am getting only 3112 and other people similar to my system are getting at least 5000. Some people told me to install VIA 4in1 driver to fix the low score. When I did, my computer would freeze like 10 seconds after I ran 3DMark 2000 program and then I had to press Reset. Right now I uninstalled VIA 4in1 driver and back to my normal setting.
