llo all, i just can't seem to get a high enough 3d mark
system: p42.4c @ 3460mhz, 2x256 corsair xms 3200 (bh-6 i think) saphire 9800pro @ 385/460 can can only get about 20K but ive seen people hit 22K with only 3.3ghz the only thing that might be the problem is my ram i can only run it on 5:4devider (2.5 3 3 8 8)

Your problem is plainly obvious, your video card clocks are very low. If you want one of those 22k scores you are going to need to crank that card up bigtime.

I would suggest seeing if you can go for better cooling on the card, then after that a volt mod on the vpu / memory if you are confident enough.

Wait a minute.....did you state your core and memory backwards?
Did you really mean 460/385??
If that's the case then I can tell that all of your system scores are low, if you want them increased you will need to bench after a new format and install of XP with CAT 3.2 (no DX9). This should also bring up your Nature, as its low too.
My system at 100mhz lower and with Nvidia is beating your Lobbys...and ATI always wins there...then again your RAM timings are probably whats causing that more than anything.

your lobby looks low, my 9600PRO beat your lobby low a bit.
One thing that most people forget to do: go in the card settings and set ALL to performance, at stock theyre at med, but put it at performance.
Only if its 460 core/ 385 MEM;). If its 385 core/ 460MEM you have awesome MEM;) and not enough OC on the core

3.2 will only work well with 8.1 I think.

crank that card till everything looks like white dots...
jk...
still, at stock cooling the Pro will either max out near 390-400ish or you will be able to get it to 420ish...
get either a Zalman Heatpipe or VGA silencer and you should hit 430ish core at least.. (I can do 475 core with my watercooled Pro)
