    Not too bad right? Just used the drivers Dell posted yesterday. I saw somewhere in another thread that the m1330 got ~3000 3dmark05.
    Should I try to overclock a bit?

    No not bad.

    I had a thinkpad R61 with the workstation version of the 8400 (quadro 140m) and it scored just over 3100 in 05. So sounds about right.

    If you feel that you need more performance out of your games, then sure OC it a little. But don't do it just for the sake of OCing it. You don't need extra heat and worry about it's stability if you don't really need the extra speed.

    I did not see a new video driver for Vostro 1400 posted at Dell support yesterday. Where did you get it?

    Edit: Now I see. You are talking about WinXP driver.
