Are you using 3DMark03 or 3DMark2001? If you are using 3DMark03 then you will tend to get low scores because the GeForce4 MX440 can only support a limited amount of DirectX 9 processes, and the ones that it can support usually put a lot of stress on the card which lowers your 3DMark scores. Try using 3DMark2001 if you are using 3DMark03 and try basic settings with antialiasing, then try turning it off. More than likely you will get scores over 4000 if you turn antialiasing off because antialiasing really slows down the frame rates when on. I got my card up to 5578, but I overclocked my card to 319mhz core, 425mhz RAM.
