Bad bench mark

I just built a new computer and when i went to bench mark it with 3dmark 2001se the score i got was 4716 3d marks. Im new at all this stuff and ive seen people getting about 7000 to 9000 in benchmarking with almost the same system. So i was wondering where would i start to tweak this thing to get it up to par. 
 
My system 
xp 1900 
Msi k7t266 pro 2 6380 using drivers that came with the mobo on the cd 
Geforce 3 Ti 200 23.11 drivers 
win 98se 
384mb of ddr ram 
western digital hd 30gb 7200 rpm 
58x cd-rom 
 
Thanx For any Help Glen <IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif">

Update to the latest VIA 4IN1 driver. Disable V-sync and disable Antialiasing. 4716 is really low for your system. But dont worry, once you done the things above, your scores will go way up. Peoples that get 7000 - 9000 on GF3 TI200 is because they O/C there video card and system. They tweak the **** out of it so all you see is ugly blocks when running benchmarks. Benchmark is not important. As long as you happy and every thing runs fine, then dont worry about it.
