The score's aren't all that bad. You might be ble to get them higher with,

1) Better device drivers. It is well documented that the 8800 had driver issues.
2) Turning off some of the XP display options from the control panel.
3) Switching to 16bit color, instead of 32bit color.

but options 2) and 3) will effect the way other software looks and behaves.
