    Don't worry, that CPU test is very demanding, especially on multicore processors. I get about 1-2 (if that.. :p)

    BTW, don't ask for serials/keygens/cracks on this forum unless you want the old ban o' roo...

    I hope so. ;) But no harm done, you didn't know.

    At any rate, any laptop is going to choke on that CPU test. Even my desktop's overclocked 3.0GHz quad-core does. So, it's really nothing to worry about. If you post a screenshot of the result details (click the details tab when you open up the results page) we'll tell you whether you did any good or not.
