Help please

Antec Plusview 1080 AMG LE
Antec SL450Watt
Intel P4 3.2 800fsb @3.4
Swiftech MCX478-V
MSI 875P NEO-FIS2R
2x 512mb Kingston HyperX PC4000 DDR500
WD 120gb Caviar 8mb x2
MSI FX5900XT @410
Lite-on DVDRW Ldw-851S
Lite-on LTR-52327S
Windows XP Pro SP1
Viewsonic P95f+b

This is the system that I just built. It is my first one. The only problem that I am having is with games and benchmarking. I can not get above 3956 in 3D Mark 2001 SE and a 15496 in AquaMark3. Can anyone tell me what could possibly be the problem? Thanks.

Is v-synch enabled in the videocard properties panel? AA? AF?

The Default settings for 3DMark have AF and AA Disabled. Try running it with those settings.
