    lol the 3D Mark 06 score is quite crap for GDDR3 9600M GT? Maybe because of bad CPU but they did it! The power of MXM! Sadly , no more new acer notebooks have it :mad:

    Not sure what you're lookin at but it says 5220 pts. 3dmark06

    Your 9600m GT did 4667 so what's the question?

    he meant that GDDR3 version of 9600GT should be scoring more than that, usually it's around 5700 stock. DDR2 he has (and me too) is bottlenecked by its RAM thus lower scores, but thats a different story

    Also, keep in mind that the benchmark is run at 1280x800 - some Acer machines with the GeForce 9600M GT GDDR3 can only run 3DMark06 at 1280x768, thus inflating their scores.

    And yes, the Core 2 Duo T5250 at a dismal 1.5 GHz doesn't help matters.
