723.1 decent?

[Iandayen]

So just ran this test, heard about it from some people at work.

Running Athlon 64 X2 6000+
3G DDR2 667
X700 Pro 256M PCI-E
ASUSM2A-VM HDMI motherboard

And is there any way for me to up some settings anywhere to push my computer a bit faster??

I am a gamer, mostly World of Warcraft with a few other random games here and there.

Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.

See this past post about pushing your PC to the bleeding edge.

Don't know about changing your settings, but certainly upgrading your video card will help. I just went from a Radeon 9800XT to a X1900 Pro - what a difference in WoW! (I am stuck with AGP right now or I would have upgraded to an even better card). I never thought of WoW as being particularly graphics intensive, but I think I was wrong about that.

ETA - your Passmark score seems fine judging by my computer. Don't expect your 3D numbers to show a dramatic increase in the Passmark scores if you upgrade your vid card, mine didn't in the test results (increased, but not 'dramatic') - though frame rates on some of the tests doubled or more (like from less than 200 to over 400fps).

Desent?

I think 723.1 is real good for that setup.

Your Video card is going to be the limiting factor AGP and the X700. I was not too impressed with that card when i owned it, I replaced my 9800pro with the X700 and it turned out was much slower.
