SLI problem in 3DMark06

[Laurijan]

Hi!

I have been building a rig for a buddy of mine for 2 days now and have problems to get SLI to work in 3DMark06.

He has 2x Asus 8800GTS 512MB and a Asus P5N32-E SLI mobo.

The SLI bridge is installed and the Nvidia Driver Suite lets me set SLI.
Also GPU-Z shows that there is SLI used but i only get about 13000 points in 3DMark06 which is from my experience the points 1x 8800GTS 512 would get..

Please anwer quickly if you know what the problem is.

What are the rest of his system specs? 3Dmark06 becomes very CPU limitted very quickly with high end cards.

My Q6600 at stock speeds limits just my single 8800GTS 512MB.

He has a Q6600 on stock, 4Gb 800MHz ram and Windows Xp 32Bit

crank that sucker to 3.6ghz and report back with the score.

install windows xp 64-bit, you'll have the full 4gb. I was getting lower scores with 4gb then i did with 2gb. idk

That is why. My single 8800GTS 512MB when overclocked was scoring only ~12700 with my stock Q6600. When I upped the clock on my Q6600 to 2.7GHz my score jumped to ~14000.

I should try 2gb in mine instead of 4gb
