    whats lowlymarine talking about the x700 is faster than the go6600 on 3dmark05 at stock settings and stock drivers, (at least on my laptop) his gpu chart is missleading

    From what'ive seen so far, the X700 is faster than go6600. This is comparing the Acer 8100 series x700 against

    Asus Z71V w/nvidia go6600
    Sager 3380 w/nvidia go6600
    Toshiba Tecra Series w/nvidia go 6600

    Of the 3, the Toshiba score the lowest, Sager score the highest. Asus is right in the middle.

    I believe the sager uses a different memory and core on it, as nvidia did release 3 version of the 6600 core. It was able to be over clocked much more than Asus. I am not sure because of the heatsink is better or not. Still trying to figure out
