I just bought a new P4 3.2e cpu, I installed it and everything boots fine and everything, but my benchmark scores are about 1/3 of what they should be at, and I already checked to see if my board is compatible with that cpu and it is, any ideas anyone, help would be much appreciated.

Please post your system's specs.

Also, how do you know what your scores should be?

well i know what they shoud be because inside the sandra benchmarking software they have all the processors and their scores (at stock im assuming) and on one of the tests i put my processor to go against and only got a 8,000 while the program showed my processor getting a 22,000. But everything is fine now, im getting those scores and all is good.
