    But do you think they are actually running it any more than 1 time? Of course 3dMark will stress the system after awhile but I don't think AW is sitting there for 3 hours running 3dmark.

    If they did that with my M5550 they would have found out that the score cut in half after an hour.

    I think it's funny that people really believe Dell/AW stress tests the computers at all.

    Sure, there was a computer of your config stress tested....as there was a computer at each config stress tested.....but just one, in order to get numbers to throw into the generic XML file everyone gets.

    Do you not notice how every single score/FPS is the same for everyone who has your config?

    Well with how long they take to build them, they might as well stress test them...
