    I know this question is prolly outdated.

    But how much better is the X3100 really? I can't find much on this online.

    Another useful table is at notebookcheck. Or compare the 3DMark results in my Zepto and G11 reviews.

    notebookcheck doesnt make any sense at all.... how can an 8400M GS have more marks than an 8400M GT?!

    The 8400M GT 3DMark06 value on Notebookcheck is only based off one benchmark run alone. Chances are it's an odd one out, which is why it's lower than the averaged benchmarks for the 8400M GS.

    So should we ignore their result always?

    Notebookcheck tends to be pretty inaccurate. I usually look everywhere else first, and if I can't find it, resort to NBC.

    Edit: Ha, NBC.
