    Hi everybody..I have just joined the forum. A few months ago I bought a new M15X with what I thought was a good spec. for gaming and specially "Second Life". I configured it to include an i7 Q740 @ 1.73 Ghz, 4 Gb RAM and an ATI HD5850 graphics card, 64bit Win 7. I expected a blistering fast performance and I was disappointed. I have a lesser spec desktop (Core 2 Quad Q8200, 3 GB RAM and an ATI HD4890 card, 32 bit Win 7) which outperforms my laptop. I decided to do a test using PC Mark7 with the following results: Desktop 1689 Vs laptop 1274. Am I expecting too much? Is there a benchmark std. value that I can use to determine if my laptop is up to speed?

    Please, don't post the same twice in different threads...

    I answerd your first post in the benchmark thread.
