Pissed Very poor 3d performance (new build)

I can't figure what is going on here. My score on 3d mark05 is 1911. It should be well over 4000. So this basically means that I am getting very poor performance with my graphics card. I just can't see whats going on here. I am using the 5.10 nvidia chipset driver and the 66.81 video card driver... the bios version is 1.3. AGP is enabled in the BIOS. Everything is at stock speed. What can I be doing wrong?

Direct X version?

05 requires DirectX 9.0c to accurately test, I believe.

I'd be more concerned about how the card performs using "real" programs if you're worried about the card itself.

If you can run something like WCIII with all the settings tuned up, with no glitching or slow-downs the card itself is fine.

I do have direct x 9.0 installed. The problem is of course very noticeable in the games I play considering the card runs so poorly. I did notice one thing however, on one of my benchmarks it shows that my onboard nic shares Irq 16 with my video card. But it seems that my bios has no way of changing IRQ assignment. I don't even know if my MOBO has an IRQ 16?
