I got an Auquamark of 27990 with an AMD 2500+ Barton and ab ATI Radeon
9600XT, 512MB PC2700, etc..

Is this a typical score for a system like mine?

Interestingky enough, if I OC the processor to the equivelent of a 3200+ the
Auquamark score improves very slightly, a couple of hundred points or so. Is
this typical?

Not sure if this helps but for comparison :-

XP1700+ (@ 2.2 GHz ~ XP2700+)
ATI 9700 (non-pro 128 MB) 315 MHz core 300 MHz Mem. (270/276 Default clock
speeds)
1 Gig PC3200 RAM

I get 31,000+ Aquamarks (about the same when 512 MB RAM fitted).

Pretty much, I've a 9600 Pro, overclocked but not to XT speed, and my
best score is 28849. Rest of system matches the specs you provided.
So perhaps you could eke out a bit more but realize the difference
between our two scores is equivalent to less than 1 frame per second.

If you look at your scores a little more closely you should see that
Aquamark gives you a total score and also separate cpu and graphics
scores. I get: AquaMark Score: 28467 (CPU: 6992, GFX: 3573), that's
with my 2500+ up around 3200+ speeds. When running the cpu slower the
Aquamark CPU score is markedly lower.

It's is far more dependent on the graphic card than CPU.

One of my machines running on P4 2.4 and original ATi Radeon 9600 Pro gets
considerably lower results than the other one running on Athlon XP 2000+
with Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT.
