    Should My Processor score be this low!??

    Hi I have a P4 3.2ghz processor. It is single core but I was expecting more
    then a 1.6 rating!!!!

    It is noticbly choppy at times. I have 2 gig of ddr400 ram and a 6600GT
    1gig and the ram score is only 1.9!!

    Every other score is great.

    Is this right. I'm running Ultimate edition and I would have thought I'd
    have no problems with performance???

    yea it should be higher than that, why don't you overclock it to 3.5 and see
    what happens.

    That does seem low. I have a single core P4 3.0ghz processor and I get a
    rating of 4.2.

    what power scheme do you have selected.
    if power saving mode, the cpu is restricted to 50% or so.
    try setting to High Performance and check again.
