    That's 3DMark03 I take it. Not bad at all for a 12" machine.

    Not bad score about 300pts higher than my stock for 3dmark03. You should try 3dmark 06 as that will strain your computer more.

    I like dell as you can get it the way you want, but this sony I got is pretty sweet.

    Interesting. Could you elaborate a bit further?
    The Quadro NVS M120M is based on the Go7400 graphics chip.

    Well, it's ghosting right now, and slowly at that (had to go to CD cause the USB2 drive I have wont be recognized)

    Wow you got a score of 4441. Im getting a 1210, but with the 2.16 Core duo, 2GB @ 667, and the 7200RPM 100GB HD, I wonder what my setup would get. Thank you very much for giving that benchmark. It makes me feel alot better knowing that I will actually be able to do some quality gaming on this thing, since mine will be a bit better than yours. Im not gloating or anything...well yes, yes I am, so Im sorry, but thanks again!

    HL2 was running at 30fps locked too, on all high with 2xAA and 4xAS. Thing of beauty :)

    Also, I think it is kind of gfx card limited since the ones I've seen are so close, so you may not see that much of a jump in game over someone with a 1.66. Not quiet sure though, need a few more tests. You will def. fair better in the CPU tests though on 3dMark.

    EDIT: haha, posted that and THEN saw the gloating line. Lol.

    Yeah the 1.66 vs the 2.16 CPU speed likley wont make too much of a difference in gameplay, but loading times will be alot better. I dont know about you, but when im in gaming mode, Im not a patient person. Me using a P4 2.4 no HT, 768MB Ram really dosent help me ether ;)

    I agree with you about the video card though. That and not having a 14' screen are the only downsides about this system. I really wish it had a 7600, arnt they twice as powerful as a 7400? But dont get me wrong it looks like a great system, and I really cant wait to get mine.

    Mine is always running at 1.83 it seems. Is there a way to have it clock to 1.0 when on battery? Cause on battery I'll mainly just be doing Word stuff...

    Thanks!
