Maybe some BIOS adjustments or what?

333 is DDR 166 (166x2 = 333) so when it says FSB is 166 / 167 then it IS at 333.
You don't actually give us your score, but for starters...
1: U have a GF4 Ti4400. This isn't DX9 Hardware, it's DX8 hardware. You won't score anywhere near a Radeon 9xxx product.
2: It's Graphics based now. It's all down to the power of the card. You'll likely get more of a score increase by concentrating on overclocking the card rather than your system.
The only way to get your score up is

Marci - that makes mucho sense!
Thanks
I thought my FSB was off or something.
Also - how do I upgrade the Bios? I have an .exe file of my latest bios version and a bin file.
I click the .exe file and I see a cmd prompt window pop up for 1 sec and disappears...
then nothing? Any advise?

BTW - since my card is Dx8, should I get rid of dx9?

well 3dmark03 won't even run if you don't have DX9...
Read your mobo manual... pages towards the back tell you how to flash your bios.

be careful, bios upgrades can kill mobos
