[lee_sov]

Just ran the test and received this score, is this a good score for this system? I thought it would be higher on a dual core machine?

The CPU is is actually pretty good. Your machine is being held back by the woeful on-board graphics performance.

If you are planning to spend any money on this machine upgrade the graphics card (unless you are using it as a server, without a screen).
