First of all I want to say Hi. I haven't been on Gamespot let alone the PCH forum in a while. Time to catch up with the new stuff....

Ok so I decided to run 3DMarks06 on my desktop computer. The specs are in my sig. Mind you, I haven't run the benchmark program since 3DMarks01 SE and I know the scoring rubric changes with each revision so I'm not sure if mine is on target. My final score for the beast of a rig was 89. That seemed a bit low to me..... I'm not devastatingly disappointed but I was hoping for maybe a 100?

My laptop faired a bit better. It's a Sager NP2090 (Compal IFL90). Specs are:

Windows Vista Ultimate
Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 Santa Rosa 2.0GHZ
1GB DDR2 667 PC2 5300
80GB 7200RPM Hitachi Travelstar 7K100
nVidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB

The score was 3270. I think someone else with the same model laptop (some spec differences) acheived 3800. I can probably do better with a BIOS update and a few other things but how's this score?

Thanks

A bios update will not increase your score, the video card driver update it will increase your score.

I got 8871 points with Gainward 8800GTS 320 at stock frequency

are laptop and desktop scores comparable?
