I have installed all the drivers that I know of for my computer, but it still runs very slowly on 3DMark 6. The "Return to Proxycon" section only goes at between 10 and 8 fps during the demanding scenes. When the test gets to the CPU section, my PC goes at less then one frame per second. Everything feels fine when I am interneting, idling, or playing Widows Pinball. The computer is NOT overheating, as the air coming out of the casefan is almost cold.

CPU: AMD X2 5200+
Mobo: MSI K9N Platinum
RAM: 2GB 800Mz Ballisitx
GPU: ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
PSU: 480 Watts

Does anyone know what may be causing this?

3DMark is very, very demanding on a system.

It's not the 10 fps that worries me- I accept that as "normal". Rather, should this really run at less than one FPS in CPU test mode?
I apologize if this is Newb-ish

I guess this is a demanding program!
I actually ran the full test, and the result is:
4858 PC Marks!
Appearantly, I rank at above 48% of similar systems.
Sorry for bugging you guys.

The CPU test will only run at about 1 FPS, perfectly ok.
