Please Help! Pentium 4 @ 3.4gHz with rating of 309

[bcotton]

I just install a:

Pentium 4 @ 3.4gHz
800MHz FSB
DDR2 2GB PC800

I have seen others with way higher ratings but not a lot more than what I have installed. I am running my video off of the onboard video card (a better video card is on its way). I don't understand why I have such a low rating of 309. Also why is it that my cache size is not showing up on the test, I belive that it is 2MB. One other problem, I also have "Check It Diagnostics" and everytime that I run a memory test it fails, WHY!? If anyone has time to help out that would be cool.

Thanks,
Brent

Check It Diagnostics is not our product, so we can't help you with that.

V5 of PerformanceTest is now pretty old. You should upgrade to V6.1. This should fix the cache display issue.

You also can't directly compare V5 and V6 results. Which is probably what you are doing.

Hi I dont think your score is bad look at the chart link below
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/common_cpus.html

P4 3.4 shows CPU Mark 526 yours is CPU Mark 543.87

I think the final score (passmark rating) is confusing it is for all the components of your computer not just the CPU
