3d Marks 2001 Scores

I saw something the other day that seemed a bit odd to me on this board.  Someone said they had a I8200 with a 2.0 ghz CPU, 64 MB M9, and like 768 MB of ram, and they said they scored something like a 6700.  My I8200 is a good bit more than this and I dont score nearly as high as I think I should.  These are my specs and my score:

P4M 2.5 Ghz, 1024 MB Ram, 64 MB M9, 40 GB HD...I am using catalyst drivers modded using that mobile mod program from www.rage3d.com.  Anyway, I score in the range of 6450. Does this sound right, or do I have a problem?

    What is the ORB? I also forgot to mention, some games that dectect hardware, (for example: Neverwinter Nights) tell me my processor has a clock speed of -1723 and says my computer can't run it, it can though, no problems, but I upgraded my original 1.7 ghz processor to a 2.5 ghz processor...and I find it odd that the game tells me I have a -1.7 ghz processor.  I am left wondering if changing the processor had any other unanticipated effects.  Any help would be appreiated agian

    ORB = Online Results Browser on Futuremark.com (formerly MadOnion.com)

    here's a link to their discussion board index: http://discuss.futuremark.com/forum/wwwthreads.pl?Cat=

    and here's a link to the ORB search page: http://service.futuremark.com/servlet/Index?pageid=/orb/projectsearch

    just choose your search parameters... cpu, cpu speed, vid card, etc...

    (note: though they list a p4m... i think they've lumped them in with the normal p4 category...)

     

    as far as your game still saying you have a 1.7ghz cpu vice the 2.5ghz you've put in since... see if there's a radio button/ icon/ option to refresh this info...

    otherwise (and probably not worth it) to get an accurate reading... maybe un-install/ re-install the game...

    also... set your computer's power settings to "always on"... maybe it's throttling...
