    the dell and the hp were similar spec'd ... why such a huge difference in 3dmark05 scores then? just by first glance looking at the specs it doesnt look right .... or.. at the very least there should be some plausible reason for such a huge difference in 2 similar spec'd machines having such a difference..
    someone care to clarify?

    Well, the 500 point difference in the review was attributed to bloatware by the reivewer. I'm not sure if that's the case or not, the HP card's could be underclocked.

    hp has 64mb dedicated vram
    dell has 128mb dedicated vram
