Anyone else not having their P-6831FX system compared to similar systems? Each time I run 3DMark06, I get a message saying that they can't do a comparison because there aren't any similar computers. It even lists my processor as an E4300, although under CPU speed it says 1667 MHz

I did a clean install of Vista 32-bit and got all the drivers I needed off the Gateway site and later upgraded to SP1.

Perhaps I'm missing a driver or something? I'm mainly concerned because I've never had over 6500 3DMarks, even at 1280x800 with multiple drivers.

My laptop is seen as a desktop due to my video drivers for some reason, thus it changed my configuration on all of my benchs, thus I cannot compare either. Check your specs and make sure its all right. Just do it manually like I do.
