    I have a DV2700t, T7500, with 2 gigs ram, vista premium, Geforce 8400GS 128mg.

    I keep getting a 2m score of 68 seconds!!! I am reading reviews online with laptops of lower specs scoring around 40 seconds.

    What's the deal? Power management is on high performance.

    you should check via everest how your cpu is clocked when you run the test. if it´s not downclocked you should check how many tasks are running, and if there is one or more culprits that are eating your cputime.

    If you are using version 1.60 stop!

    Use version 1.55 instead it's the latest stable build, version 1.60 gives different results to what is normal.
