I'm 90% sure it's Vista causing your lack of sleep. If you can, I'd dual boot XP and run 3DMark in it. I guarantee that after seeing your score in XP you'll be very happy.

Wow, I didn't realize that XP would give me that huge of a leap in 3dMark scores. I got 13453 with XP vs 12000 on Vista! I guess everything is working properly

I wonder how much higher I can go if I OC the video cards... and maybe open up the CPU a little more

I'll give that a go once I get proper cooling for my CPU. At the moment I am able to run my e6600 at 3.15ghz stable on the stock fan. The 8800s I haven't even overclocked yet, I wanted to make sure they were running fine at stock before I dove into overclocking them. BTW, are you reaching those that 14387 on a stable 24/7 settings?
Just to put things into perspective a little more, on Vista I was able to get roughly 12500 with the [email protected], and only 11600 when I had the [email protected] This is with the RAM at stock. Once I realized 3.15 was stable, I upped the RAM to 933MHZ which bumped me up to 12000 points.
I hope these numbers are interesting =) Oh, and overclocking is a drug... too much fun
