Ok, CC is installed, getting the last 2 months of updates (been that long...) so in 5min time, 3DMark time, unclocked then overclocked, 13,500 my same set up and 8800GTS got (CPU at 3.6Ghz) so lets try and get 15k!

16,706 That is with a 3.8Ghz quad, but the card can be clocked as can the memory in the system (running Vista doesn't help...) but I am happy with that, an extra 3k from a new card plus it means I caan play WiC at stupidly high detail as my 800GTS couldn't manage that. I would love to bench it now.. I lack the SATA cable to plug in the DVD ROM sadly getting one in an hour though so its all good
Overclock the VRAM, it can be taken up to 1100MHz on the cooling, and still run which will give you 4400MHz VRAM, and your core should up quite a bit as well, put the core up to 790MHz
Then you may be able to expect something in the region of 18000
Ahh no worries, 3.4 is plenty fast enough TBH. We decided on a different forum, a Quad at 3GHz.. none of your games will be held back on the CPU, it's something else in your system!
