    Hi..

    Just ran the tests at http://www.pcpitstop.com

    It informs me that my system has an unusually low video performance.

    http://www.pcpitstop.com/techexpress.asp?id=LY7PHWJM1XVSHHAV

    I get a score of 40 - 77 megapixels pr. second, depending on resolution 16/32bit colours. All graphics test appear to run very fast except for the drawing of the ellipses, which is very very slow.

    My Laptop config is the following:

    Dell Vostro 1500
    Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
    2GB Ram
    160 GB Hitachi
    Nvidia 8600M GT 512MB (256MB dedicated) - Forceware 101.28 (Dell driver R158222)
    Windows XP Pro

    Can anyone share a results of a similar system or tell me whats wrong with my config/results?
