I think im getting low results.
hi everyone (and john) :)
i gave geekbench a go on my Q6600 2.4ghz and usually im getting
results of around 3200. the graphs on your benchmark comparison
show im supposed to get around 3900.
once in a few tests, after my computer has been running for a few
hours, i AM getting around 3700~3800 but if i do a test right after
a reboot im getting around 3200.
after trying to OC im getting the same results. not better in any
way.
sadly im also experiencing pretty bad results with some games
and since my GPU is a HD6870 i assume i should be getting a much
better performances than what im experiencing.
(weird thing is - on my OLDER rig , which was the same CPU but
older mobo, 2gb ram on 2 sticks, win XP and HD4870 i got around
25-30 fps in GTAIV. on my new rig, specs below, i am getting 15.
strange.)
my rig:
Q6600 at 2.4ghz (not OCed)
HD6870
4gb ram on one single stick
win7 64bit
been doing the test with the trial version (32bit). does that even
matter?
im trying to figure out if my CPU or memory are doing worse than they should and im not sure on how to do that.
i'd appreciate any help since im completely at loss here....

Hi adar,
Thanks for your message, and I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you!
Have you checked to see if you have any background processes that use up a lot of your processor time? Something like that would explain why you only sporadically get the results in line with other Q6600 systems.
Another thing to check out would be whether the processor is overheating (and thus underclocking itself). That would explain why the overclock makes no difference to your Geekbench score.
Best,
John
