How Important are Math Grades? Profile eval...

Hello all (which appears to be primarily Raza on this particular forum),

My profile is as such:
University - College of William and Mary
GRE - Math 800, Verbal 710, awaiting AWA
GPA - 3.65 overall, 3.85 in CS
Research - Cellular Automata modeling of Spatial Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (as part of a math REU at Texas A & M)
LOR: Should be strong, the only downside being that the letter that will most strongly recommend me will come from a chemistry professor
Research Interests: Modeling, Scientific Computing, Machine Learning

As the title indicates, I was wondering how much I am hurt when applying to top programs for having only a 3.4 in my math classes, (multivariable calc, differential equations, discrete math, linear algebra, real analysis). Also, at the schools that recommend but don't require the CS subject GRE, how high would I have to score on it for it to improve my application? Given my profile what are an appropriate range of rankings of CS programs to consider?
