    So I figured with the amount of people asking which drivers are the best, which temperatures are normal, what 3DMark06 scores they should be getting...NBR Dell should have a special tool for this. Currently, this "tool" is hosted on my desktop so I can't guarantee it'll be working 100% of the time or be extremely fast (stupid Comcast upload speeds). However, the link is posted at the end of this thread for people to get it going. If it becomes popular enough, I may look for a reliable hosting solution.

    I'd like to say first of all that this is very developmental. I started it yesterday and finished it this morning. Certain features are yet to be implemented (for example, you can post comments but they don't show up anywhere yet). Please don't abuse this, don't post fake values, don't post at all if you aren't sure of what you're posting. It's meant to be a helpful tool, and I think many people could benefit from the information.

    The only computers that are up and running are the XPSs (haven't added any of the graphics cards for the Inspirons yet).

    If you have OC'd your card and are posting your results, please indicate that in your comments and post your OC'd speeds. I promise they will show up soon even though they don't now.
