if i were You i'd check results of people with that specific gpu in use; also driver version maters a lot sometimes;
your system gets average benchmarks on cpu/memory/disk? did You make sure that only necessary stuff was running in the system along with the bench?

What ^said.
Try 10.2 (not to be confused with 10.02) Catalyst driver.
Here's my 3DMark 03 score with 2600 XT 512MB GDDR3 : LINK
Also, that PSU is really bad - be carefull.

"Also, that PSU is really bad - be carefull."
Don't worry I replaced the PSU's stock Young Lin 120mm fan with a new 120mm Noctua NF S12A FLX for better cooling. +Case itself has 2pcs 120mm fans also so air flow is superb.

The ATI drivers were from 2014. I think something like 14.4 or so...

Yeah, I don't think he's worried about the fan. Cheap brands of PSUs don't belong anywhere near computers. Especially 13 year old ones.

Driver version will have a huge impact on your score.

Colorsit 400W (mfg 2005)
It has a working tube fuse inside ? Fuse=protection ?
- All dust cleaned inside PSU and such...
- I checked all capacitors none is bulking.
Electronics inside are very similar to this: (Link)

Pop it open, take some good pictures and post it on the PSU thread. Someone with some knowledge will tell you how good/bad it is.

I second this.

Just because it has a new fan and is free of dust doesn't mean it will not blow up on you.
The fuse likely only protects the PSU from the AC end and capacitors don't need to be bulging to be junk/failed.

Is this the same PSU you have?

One other possibility, and this is from research, not experience, is that Socket 754 is a more budget type posting, and the Via Chipset was not known for performance.

Did you install the chipset/agp drivers? Without AGP drivers the card will revert to PCI speeds.

Good idea. that could be part of the problem.

Hello
I installed upgrades: ( But were disappointed again 😢 )
-> Athlon 64 3200+(2.2GHz) replace for Sempron 2800+.
-> 2x1GB DDR1-400 PC3200(CL2.5) 2.6V Extrememory RAMs.
and the old Sapphire ATI radeon HD3650 512MB DDR2.
Core clock=745MHz and Memory clock=490MHz.

Now 3DMark 2003 scores were about 4500 ( Previous was 2100 ).
- Horrible lag total average FPS was around 20-30. Not near 60-70 FPS.

3DMark 2008 Vantage(Directx10.1) only provided "Entry"-level tests and it pretty much lagged badly. Also load times were horrible 2-5mins before tests.

Windows 7(64-bit) scores= Windows Experience Index (WEI)
Processor= 4.0
Memory RAM= 4.0
Graphic card= 6.0
HDD= 6.0

WHY is that actually bad? I have one of those too which I (only) use for testing mainboards. Haven't found anything wrong with it so far. People seem to call it junk but not giving a reason why.

I know that the power supply is marketed and bought in North Europe: Finland and also a lot of Russian sites too give info on these:
mfg.2004-2005 Colorsit / Colors-IT / COLORSit 400W (350U- )
These power supplies came often with a Colorsit computer case. Case+PSU combo.

- They say it is not 400W but only like 320W or so... and some rails are undervalued.
- I don't know some said it might not have "all protection circuits possible" or such...

I think OP got curious 😁
So... I simply quote The Guy who knows a thing or two about PSUs :

Well.. It's not going to work for another 10 because it wasn't engineered to work for 10 in the first place. 😀

I'm not going to say you've been lucky. I don't think it's as bad as rafal says and you've been lightly loading it. But when it does die, it can kill your parts.

@OP
"A fuse", does NOT "=protection".
It doesn't get you a OVP (Over Voltage Protection), and high(er) voltage will kill anything behind that fuse since it only counts as OCP (Over Current Protection).

Also, check if Windows Update isn't doing "it's thing" in the background (which will decrease performance A LOT on single core CPUs).

You should be able to get 10,000 or more. Something weird must be going on. Maybe you can run CPU-Z and GPU-Z and see if there are any clues to what the problem might be. Check task manager for any processes eating up CPU time like the other poster suggested.

As suggested by bakemono, running CPU-Z and GPU-Z might give you the answer. I really think that your Sapphire ATI Radeon HD3650 GDDR2 graphics card is the 64-Bit version instead of the more available 128-Bit one that can show a 10,000 average score on 3DMark03. Both card editions with the same specs., but different memory width:

128-Bit GDDR2 bandwidth: 12.4 GB/s
vs.
64-Bit GDDR2 bandwidth: 4.8 GB/s

It is only DDR2 but I think all AGP are DDR2 ? PCI-E is DDR3.

Windows 7 WEI-experience is

You should check with the GPU-Z tool the bus width and bandwidth of your graphics card; if it's a 64 or 128-Bit one, regardless of GDDR2.

Unless you are running the 3DMark03 benchmark at this resolution (1080p) instead of the program's default settings (1024x768) and no matter at which resolution you've set up your desktop.

The Windows 7 version or the overclock settings on your board should not be limiting the graphics card performance at all.

OK. It is probably the lower 64-Bit GDDR2 bandwidth: 4.8 GB/s In my luck.
