    Hi folks,

    As a new owner of a Alienware M17X R2 i seek help from more experienced users,
    as you see from the test i did not do so well as i hoped, Acctualy it performed worse than my old laptop, This is the first time i`ve booted up this beast and i have to say. Im unsertain if its some thing i over looked or if this is normal.

    Prosessor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 840 @ 1.87GHz
    Score:4,7

    Minne (RAM) 6,00 GB Score:7,0
    Grafikk NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285M Score: 6,8
    Spillgrafikk 3834 Totalt tilgjengelig skjermminne (MB) Score:6,8
    Primær harddisk 173GB ledig (224GB totalt)Score:7,1

    I think that 4.7 on the processor was way to low, Is there a way to increease the performance?? Would appriciate all feedbacks.
    Best regards

    Make sure you are not in stealth mode and not running on battery when performing the WEI test.

    Don't worry. I'm pretty sure it happened to most of us when we first got our AWs. :)
