MY passmark scores 1714.16

[steven]

My score is too high, comparing to others. I can't believe it.
My system is Intel Core 2 6600, Intel Box975 (MB), XFX Geoforce 7950 GT (512MB), Muskin 2x1GB (memory), Seagate 400GB 7200RPM (HD), Viewsonic VX2035 (monitor).

Can anyone comment?

Your disk read result is being cached in RAM. So disk appear faster than it really is. This can happen on some systems that have a lot of RAM and the device driver doesn't fully comply with don't cache instructions from the O/S.

It can also happen if you are using a RAM disk or some type of solid state disks.

Thanks

My disk is just a regular 7200RPM SATA-II disk. RAM is also just 2x1GB.

Should I make any changes on the setting of my system?

[David (PassMark)]

Trying using the latest version of PerformanceTest, V6.1 build 1002 or later. There were some changes in this area not so long ago.

New score 1354 with PerformanceTest 6.1

Just download the new version of your program. The new score for my PC is 1354. I have already uploaded my results to your web.

How can I improve my system without adding big money?

Thanks.

Overclock, defag your disk, turn off some of the visual effects in Windows, use a CD for CD test that has very large files on it (not lots of small files).
