    hey guys

    My score in 3dmark 06 for my 1530 is 80 points lower than all of the others who tested it with stock drivers out of the box. I have the power settings at high performance and 3dmark06 is running at 1280 x 1024 and I only score at 3908 instead of 3980-3999 with everyone else who has the same native resolution of 1680x1050.

    Is there anything I can do to get that 80 points im missing with my stock system?

    someone said too
    set windows to performance -visuals off
    to turn off indexing
    and to activate performance on my hard drive

    How do I do this? and is there anything else I could do to get that missing 80 points

    thanks
