    Yes. Everyone gets different scores with same driver. Hardware is always different.

    Did you also install the SP1 update to Windows 7 this time around? I've read that they updated the index slightly. Before SP1, my Aero score was a 3.2. Now, it's also a 2.9.

    Did you format your m11x due to games lagging every once in awhile due to the cpu usage always being almost maxed due to the processors? If so, I'm having the same problem that you had before you formatted. How did you format? Did you need the Windows 7 disk?

    Is it true that Dell doesn't release a new driver for this laptop as often as they should?
