AquaMark3 scores

One benchmark that I used to use is AquaMark3 (a DirectX 9 based benchmark). Unfortunately, the company behind AquaMark3 is no longer in business. Which is a shame, because they allowed you to submit your scores to a central database which had some decent search parameters. (For instance, you could search for equivalent systems that were not overclocked to get an idea of what performance a particular upgrade would give you.)

Still, since I have it around, I threw it at the new Athlon64 3000+ system that I just built. I expect that the video scores will be pretty poor since it's using an integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 video card that uses 64MB of system RAM.

10100 (CPU: 7470, GFX: 1080)
AMD Athlon64 3000+
PC3200 (2x512MB) DDR RAM
Asus A8N-VM CSM motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 integrated graphics (64MB)

Indeed, the graphics scores are pretty much bottom of the barrel. Worse then my old Ti4600 video card from a few years ago. OTOH, the CPU score is very good for a low-end system and a $50 or $75 PCIe video card would spice things up quite a bit.
