    I got my XPS M1330 today and before doing a memory and hard drive upgrade, wanted to do a quick baseline performance test. I had tests from my previous M1210 (C2D 2.33ghz) and PowerEdge 1800 (dual 3.0ghz Xeon server).

    I know that the 2.2ghz is slower than the 2.33ghz C2D in the 1210, but I'm surprised that the 1210 still seemed quite a bit faster in the CPU tests. Not surprisingly, the 1330 did much better in 3D graphics, but surprisingly, it did pretty poorly in the 2D tests.

    Overall PassMark ratings:

    M1210 - 587.97
    M1330 - 535.94
    Dell PE 1800 - 492.26

    Attached is a pdf report of the results and below are the details.

    Does this surprise anyone?
