    According to a lot of scores I've come across with comparable notebooks, mine is lagging behind.

    I'm stuck with a wPrime score of 80. >.<
    I'm pretty sure I should be sub 60, maybe anyone have an idea of why or if something looks awry? Check the screens.

    Specs:

    HP Dv2000

    TL-56 Turion @ 1.8
    2Gb (2x 1Gb Dual Chan)
    Geforce Go 6150

    You can basically see all the crucial things in the shots. Also, I have the XP dual core hot fix installed.

    If anymore info is needed just let me know. Forgive me for leaving something out.

    if u r running vista check that u r in the "high performance" power plan and not in"power saver" plan. use task manager to kill the processes that consume cpu excessively before testing..

    Check under wPrime's advanced settings that you have 2 threads.

    Oops on leaving out the OS, I'm running XP32, I have all the power options set correctly and wPrime is set for 2 threads.
