    I have a L2000 and I got a 2755! Why so low? My Dell 6000d got a 9890. I have the 1.8 Turion with 512 of ram. Dell has 1.6 P-M, 128MB x300 with 512 of ram. I know the Dell has a better card but the results are hugely different!

    Well, for one thing, 128MB of RAM in your L2000 is reserved for the Radeon 200M so you only have 384MB left for Windows to play with and that's likely kicking you into virtual memory quite a bit. Not something you want to happen while running benchmarks. Go to crucial.com and buy a 1GB PC2700 SODIMM to replace one or both of your 256MB sticks.

    128MB dedicated RAM is an option on the zv6000/R4000 but not on the L2000/V2000z. Very few machines with the Radeon 200/200M chipset have the dedicated memory option.

    Well i get ~3100 points in -01se and i have sempron low power 2800+ and 512Mb ram, ati x200m shared memory (64Mb). I think your points are little too low because I have almost same specs but only sempron...
    Are you using official HP drivers? And how much memory are you sharing to the gpu? Is your memory speed 266MHz or 333MHz?
