    Don't worry about the other numbers. There are there to make you want to waste money. I did this with my desktop with a score of 11500, way below the 17000 average. All the stuff they recommend costs a fortune.

    ^^Ya I get the same results. This test sucks is doesn't take into account the hybrid sli at all and only measures the 9200 when it is on. Blah....

    Really? My experience has been that Hybrid-SLI works reasonably well, all things considered.

    Yeah, some games will only use the 9200 when it's on, hence actually making things slower. But it's far from "practically all."

    I got 6500 VirtualMarks without SLi and it shows my card as NVIDIA Geforce 9400M G and 3200 in SLi mode it shows my card as NVIDIA Geforce 9200M.

    I also got 4400. I don't think this test even measures performance.. it just takes your specs and gives a score.. that said, I do wonder how some of you are getting significantly higher numbers.

    Probably just with the differences in CPU speed, amount of ram, etc.

    I got the 5400 with a 2.53GHz, 4GB, sli off, 320GB 7200rpm HD.
