    Hi!

    I think my XPS M1210 is not performing as well as it can so I thought we could compare our M1210's performance with each other and share our tips and tricks to optimize our notebooks.

    First share your specifications, then post your results.

    Here are my specs:

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo-processor T7200 (2,0 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz FSB)
    2048MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2x1024)
    256MB NVIDIA®GeForce™ Go 7400 TurboCache
    160 GB (5 400 v/min) SATA-hårddisk

    Here are my score with Vista's own performance information:

    And in 3DMark03 with standard settings 1024x768 I got a score of 3810.

    I did a clean install/reformat when I got the computer and installed the latest drivers but I think these scores are too low for my specs, anybody have any tips?

    I get a 3.4 on my Vista test, and I'm running a 1.83 Core Duo, not a 2. Might just be drivers though, seeing as it's only .1 difference.

    Well, to improve that score the best thing is to use up to date drivers.
