Well, nothing appears to be wrong with your system. You don't have a
high-end graphics card. It's actually a pretty cheap video card.

It doesn't say "which" card you have (Asus, EVGA, etc...). It doesn't even
specify if it is actually a 7200 or 7300.

Checking www.newegg.com and searching on "nvidia 7300 512" I see 2, 1 for
$90 and the other for $64.

Checking www.newegg.com and searching on "nvidia 7200 GS 512" I get no hits,
so probably a 7300 as that is available with 512MB memory onboard.

Put in a $200 8800 based NVidia card and you can expect a higher score.

Are you actually having a problem? Or just feel bad that your system only
goes up to 3.0?
