    I don't know what it is... i'm just not too... well, into it. i wish the graphics card was better which is my only gripe. i already did mobility modder and it didn't do much to improve the 4.0 score and the 4.1 3d score. :(

    feel i need to get a XPS instead or something else with better graphics.

    see my sig for what i have. what says you? thanks!

    the score didn't change. stayed the same. :(

    i didn't run any more benchmarks, just ran a quickie. is there a free benchmark i can run to size up the new drivers? thanks!

    Those seem like frivolous reasons to sell a >$1000 purchase, out of which you will lose money.

    i know but it's just annoying how i can't even make it better. i can understand if it's a software issue but even my 128 meg old acer vid card seem to perform better, albeit it is running on omega drivers, i think.

    i just went to dell and priced out my system, minus fingerprint since it seems they don't offer it and it was in the $1400 range. if i can get even just $1000 i guess i would be happy.

    The WEI score is not a good measurement of your graphics capability.

    Try the free test performance test at http://pcpitstop.com/default.asp

    You will get a much better indication of your overall system performance. ;)

    DO NOT use WEI to measure your system performance!. That is the most ridicules performance index I’ve seen.
    Use 3D mark or a real game for graphics benchmarking.
