    WTF? Why do I get a lower score when I run this??? I should be getting around 5000. I updated the drivers, it's set on high performance and I have a T7700 2.4 Duo, 3 gigs of ram, and an 8600 GT. WHat gives?

    Does anyone have any tips to boost the score? Thanks

    5000 marks with a 8600m, I doubt it..... maybe overclocked to the max,(even overclocked I doubt)

    A single 8700m get around 4600 in 3dmark06

    4400 @ 1280x800 yeah. At 1280x1024 (which you'll be running it at, as you have WSXGA+) you'll get around 36-3700.
