723.1 decent?

[Iandayen]

So just ran this test, heard about it from some people at work.

Running Athlon 64 X2 6000+
3G DDR2 667
X700 Pro 256M PCI-E
ASUSM2A-VM HDMI motherboard

And is there any way for me to up some settings anywhere to push my computer a bit faster??

I am a gamer, mostly World of Warcraft with a few other random games here and there.

Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.

See this past post about pushing your PC to the bleeding edge (http://www.passmark.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1071).

Don't know about changing your settings, but certainly upgrading your video card will help. I just went from a Radeon 9800XT to a X1900 Pro - what a difference in WoW! (I am stuck with AGP right now or I would have upgraded to an even better card). I never thought of WoW as being particularly graphics intensive, but I think I was wrong about that.

ETA - your Passmark score seems fine judging by my computer. Don't expect your 3D numbers to show a dramatic increase in the Passmark scores if you upgrade your vid card, mine didn't in the test results (increased, but not 'dramatic') - though frame rates on some of the tests doubled or more (like from less than 200 to over 400fps).

I think 723.1 is real good for that setup.

Your Video card is going to be the limiting factor AGP and the X700. I was not too impressed with that card when i owned it, I replaced my 9800pro with the X700 and it turned out was much slower.
