I have a dual Core 1.8Ghz,2GB ram, windows XP (with those scores), please post yours? I wouldnt mind knowing how well the new dual core 2 2.3Ghz is running

    I've got SZ4MN/b, with latest nVidia driver (which I think is buggy as hell), and ran 3DMark05 and achieved 1800~, so I'm blaming it on bad driveres. :(

    Its higher than my score. Whats the sz360 setup you have? CPU speed and memory. The rest, unless you have a 7200rpm HD shouldn't make a difference. The video driver would to a lesser degree, but I'm just looking at ballpark figures.

    Wait, if you've got an SZ360, what sort of difference would you be expecting? The SZ4xx series isn't any newer spec-wise, it just has Vista instead of XP. I don't think the hardware is different otherwise.

    Well I really do expect my scores to be higher but the buggy as hell nVidia drivers are letting me down. This can be seen just using normal tasks such as 3D flip - even my Intel GMA is faster than the 7400 at the moment. :(

    In my other post about 3dmark scores, my intel was a bit better, but the scores didnt flip.

    zadillo- if you were talking to me, I don't have the dual core 2. I have dual core 1.8Ghz. I wanted to see what the new sony notebooks are doing with the 2.3Ghz dual core 2. thats 700Mhz difference and an upgrade to 2 duo. It should make a major difference I think. But so far nobody with a fast SZ has posted their scores.

    I'm sorry, I was confused..... you list owning a sz360 in your sig, right? So haven't you already had the chance to see what the C2D can do?
