Either something is totally effed up with my computer or: 3DMark does NOT like Win7, Cat 9.12/10.3 do NOT like 3DMark 2001, or somehow my Athlon II X2, North Bridge and HT @ 2.9GHz are just not enough to run 3DMark... Because I'm oh... only 18K points shy of first place How I'm only managing a score of just 8300 is beyond me... Then how I can tweak the system to pull vastly higher frame rates but end up scoring LESS (8000) than the lower frame rate runs >_>
It's an 890GX @ 980Mhz core, 1800Mhz SidePort (haven't tested with UMA yet) and everything is running cool as a cucumber! :\
If it calculates the score based on the computer specs, then that is probably the issue, since I'm running an x2 250u (ultra-low voltage CPU, originally 1.6GHz) and 3DMark's system details blankets me with "Unknown" results
EDIT: After literally an HOUR of trying to submit my god damn results, I get hit with a fucking error that isn't even my fault First it was this, then it was that, then it didn't like my confirmation Futuremark link (which I can't get a compare of BTW Hooray lamezilla!) and so a mod/admin can plug in my results...

Screenshot of the error the site just gave me (And yes, the form was completed, but after every time it has to bitch about something, it resets the image part)
I was having fun until it came to this stupid submission form...
