When I get home from work I'm going to attempt a nForce driver update... I was impressed with Vista SP1 actually installing all drivers needed to make my PC work, but they probably aren't optimal. I'll report back.

Make sure nothing else is taking up the CPU when you run the benchmarks. Make sure as little as possible is running as well. I see a big dip in benchmarks by just running Winamp (it doesn't even need to play music, just sit in the memory).

This was after a fresh install... I did check the CPU usage and it was <2%..

After the nForce driver update I'm getting about 5200 now, not the 6000 I was getting before.
