    Ok, so my comp scored very low in pcmark05 and I am wondering if anyone knows what the problem could be. My score was 3790. The reason why I think this is so low is because in this review http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3808 the guy benchmarked the dv6500t with a t7100 and 1gb of ram and received a score of 4049. I have a t7300 and 2gb of ram, so I figure that mine should score higher. The only other hardware difference is that he has a 160gb 5400 rpm and I have a 120gb 5400 rpm. Can anyone help me out?

    Also, I set my appearance settings to best appearance and defragged my hdd as pcmark required.

    Do you have the Graphics: NVidia 8400M ? Because if you have a different card it could explain why your score is lower.
