    I am getting about 730 in 3dmark05 with both XP and Vista. That seems low. I thought the x3100 was capable of about 1000 in 3dmarko5. I've tried a bunch of different power management settings, and I do have the latest driver.

    Can you try it again with the latest driver? Also, for some reason I cannot install the driver from intel's website. It tells me to get a driver from my manufacturer's site. Can you see if you can install the driver from intel on your x61 please.

    I am new to super pi. I just downloaded it, navigated to its directory from command prompt and executed: "qpi.exe 1mi pi.txt"

    Can you tell me if the following is what I should be expecting:

    QPI-QuickPi v4.0a, (c) 2000-2006 S. Pagliarulo

    ZaZ i dont know how to read my super pi scores. Are these what I should be getting? The one you reviewed at a low voltage proc and it scored 1:06 in super pi. Whatever that means.

    Mine looks like a 1:16 or a 1:36, both seem high given my 7300

    You should be getting around 0:58-1:00 with the T7300. The best I get is 0:58 with my X61 T7300, when no excessive processes are running. How to read in Super Pi? Choose 2M (2 million) in the Calculate menu and wait for it to finish the calculating cycles.

    I don't understand how to use and read super pi's data. Tutorial anywhere?

    *edit*
    ok i figured it out, 2mi took 1 minute

    I am really disappointed with the x3100. Just played civ4 and i get 15fps. Thats the same i got with an intel 915gm...
