Score To Low?

[dominationXVO]

I just bought this comp, it's a dell xps 420 4gb 800 mhz ram, 500gb hard drive, gforce 8800 gt, core 2 e6850 proc @ 3 ghz. My score is approx 900; this seems kinda low, is it correct? oh yeah, the CPU rating alone is only 477, i though it was supposed to be much higher.

Yes the CPU mark score should be higher.

See the post on common performance problems.

In particular check the number of processes in the Edit / Preferences window

It would help if you posted all the results, along with the version of PerformanceTest you are using.
