3d mark score

what is a good score? i ran 3dmark test on my pc which is core 2 quad 6600 @3ghz with 8800gts. Is 1997 CPUMarks a good cpu score, and, is 32271 3DMarks a good overal score? also is this good for my set up, could it be better? thanks.

I just scored 1416 in 3dmark03 ;-)

Please tell me lower is better!

higher is better, dude. things that will help you get a better score incllude, but are not limited to: overclock everything, keep it cool (to ensure no throttling) and clean install with latest drivers- one caveat here: the latest might not be the best, but a few quick searches through the appropriate forum will reveal which drivers are scoring the highest. in the end though, the question is: Are you gaming at a level that you're happy with? if not see above, rinse and repeat.
