First off Schizophonic, what are the specs on your system? I run a Toshiba P4 1.7 with GeForce440 Go and get around 5300 in 3DMark2001SE with tweaked drivers. I run a fan on the back of my system so the temp while doing this test wont get above 35C. It's also possible to tweak the mipmap settings. Doing so will give you a slight increase in performance but a hit in quality. There are other tweaks that will help slightly, but if other people with your same config are getting such better scores, tweaking may not be the reason.

Did you check in the online result browser of ManOnion to see if your drivers and the drivers of the people you were comparing to are the exact same???? You could just have a bad system. Not all are the same. I have talked to a guy with my exact config and we have the exact same system tweaks and he still is 250 points off my score in 3DMark.

Not many are aware of this little fact, but there are two different types of GeForce440 Gos. One is discrete packaging and the other is not. One is definately faster. I have the non-discreet package with 32mb. The 32mbs are stored off the chip itself and the package design actually makes my chipset faster than an exact system like mine with the 64mb version.

Hope this helps.
