There is a possibility that a huge portion of the 6600 GT chipsets were shipped faulty. When the FX 5900 Ultra came out there was a metric fucklode of faulty cards shipped out. I got two of them from NewEgg ($1,000 RMA anyone?).
3DMark 2005 is EXTREMELY system intensive. I have an Athlon XP 2500+, 768 MB of PC2700, and a GeForce 6800 GT overclocked WAY past Ultra speeds and mine runs at 0-15 FPS during 2005. The average is probably around 10. An average FPS of below 5 wouldn't surprise me with a 6600 GT but 0-1 FPS is awfully low.
I don't know what to tell ya -- it honestly sounds like the card is fucked.
