(nevermind, its typical for this video card and 3d 06 to get those marks lol, ill invest into a graphics card now

Ok i recently did a bench mark with 3dmark 06 and i got a score of 274 marks :|.

It says a common system is 11600, with fastest system being 32601.

My bench didnt even register for a comparison..heres is my specs, is this to be expected?

Im pretty sure its the video card but still would think you would get a higher score with it.

For power options I have it on High Performance and nvidia panel set to adapt to programs own config.

I know its my graphics card, but didnt know it was so weak lol.
(close the gap between http and :\\ with a backspace and it will connect the link.

For VISTA, I would say yes u need a better video card for more than reading the Web and watching movies, although that is a pretty bad score.

You have a crummy video card thats for budget and 2D usage. 3D usage will get your very bad scores. With a gf that old and that budget I would be surprised if you reach 1000 3dmarks.

Your bottlencing, your CPU is fine, you need a new video card or forget playing games. Theres good prices out there so grab one... gl,

Make sure your system has a slot that will accept an upgraded graphics card, as many lower end systems have no upgrade slot. Most likely, you'd have a pci-e x16 slot available, but check before you buy.
