    I just ran 3dmark06 on my desktop and laptop. I got about 4987 for my desktop and i only got 38 for my laptop (wtf?). Is that right?

    My laptop has:

    Pentium m 1.83ghz
    1b ram
    ATI x600

    It can't be that bad. Can anyone explain?

    You need Sm3.0 supports to run all tests of 3Dmark06 - X600 does not have that.

    No idea, but I agree, that that score is too low.

    An ancient integrated Intel GMA900 scores ~double that. You should be getting between 250-350.
