    Running 1280x800, so those with 1440x900 screens can compare scores. I finally broke 14,000, even managed to break 13,000 at 1280x1024...

    Oh, I should have stated on the 260m this is at my gaming clocks of 600/1000/1450 that are 100% stable...............

    my p7805u scored 11560 points with 1280x800 res.
    turning powermizer off gives me additional 10-20 points only.

    I put it up as is as the CPU score with the quad artificially inflates the overall score............................

    these are my results to compare. quad core gave you almost twice more points for cpu.. but do I get it right that it doesn't mean it's twice faster?

    The CPU itself under 100% ideal conditions may be 2x faster but the GPU is the heart of making the system a gaming machine. The 260m is more capable but only by 10-20% more than the 9800m and that again is under ideal conditions.................
