Depends. I wouldn't recommend relying too heavily on the 3DMark scores to say how well your system is going to perform but 3404 I can say truthfully, is so-so. What's your system specs?

This is on my older system... The specs are:

Amd athlon xp 2600+ oc'ed to 2300mhz
512 mb corsair value select
Radeon 9600xt 256mb
WD 120gig 7200rpm

I visit my parents quite a bit now since i live 2 hours away and Im lookin for sort of a gaming pc to leave there. I go there on the weekends. Also my little brother lives there and is pretty irritated with my dads 5 year old HP. It cant do anything lol. I was thinking he could use this. I was wondering if there is any way i can bring this system up to speed so it can be able to handle more intense games.

that 3dmark03 score sounds about right to me. that should be a good system to leave at your parents.

I seriously cannot belive your 3dmark03 score tin... How did you get it so high??? I mean im looking to improve the Gfx card on this system anyways. What one do you guys think i should get?? My frame rates in the newer games have seemed a little low.

as far as i know, if you pump up the ram a little it should give you a couple of extra fps.

its alot of things that make the score. ram amount, FSB speed, GPU speed, video driver, chipset driver....they all add up.
