BenchMarking configs. Feedback please

I have learned so much from these forums in such a short time I would like to give back to you all.

I am creating a Benchmark sheet for use when I get my new notebook. What information is critical and what info would we all like to see compared? I am using that for starters some would like to see the stock difference between MCE2k5 and XP Pro for BenchMarks. I also assume that some would want to see the effects of 2gb ram vs the original 512 i ordered.

Is there an interest to see what effect 1 stick of 1gb benches at?

I am also wondering if I should OC the CPU only and bench it then take the CPU back to original and OC the GPU only and bench that way as well... then OC both and check the numbers again.

is this somehting that is of interest.?? I have time at work during the day to run this stuff so it is possible that it wont take an extreme amount of time to accomplish.

I am shooting for something worthy of a sticky. and very informative.
thanks for the feedback. its appreciated.

oh yeah. I will put the Temps on my list.

Thanks for the help. unfortunatley i do not have the 667Mhz ram to config with nor the 2x512mb either since i got the 2x256 option and then got the 2x1gb @533Mhz.

Maybe someone else can hook it up on those so we can consolidat the BM's.

There is plenty of time for this. I am sure I wont have my lappy for another 2 weeks fer shur.

I just wanted to get the BM sheet ready so I didnt forget anything.
proper BM order for efficiancy and such.

I am BM'ing on the 18th. I will be useing several apps including Sandra lite.

I will be testing the original 2x256 config as shipped and the 2x1gig OCZ i have as well.

I am also going to be testing the OUT OF BOX config and a clean MCE as well as XP Pro and mutiple Vid drivers and such.

I am even going to test Vista Beta2 on it. That should be fun!!!!

I dont have my BT installed as of yet, it remains in my Targus bag waiting. I dont have my mouse yet so what is the point eh!! I may install it just for good measure on the BM's though... Feedback? wat ya tink?

I love it so far!!!! The screen is amazing! I do have a little light leakage at the bottom but only annoying at the startup screen or screensaver, otherwise unnoticeable. I will get pics!

I ran into a few issues with the DVD drive though. It seems the drive does not like to remain in windows all the time. It dissappeared on me twice so far! NOWHERE to be found! had to restart to get it back. I also ran into some muti-disk install issues with it. When an install asks for the second disk and you hit OK it will not read it! This happened on Sims2 and on Doom3, I will be testing Adobe CS2 during testing as well!

The palmrest and keyboard are solid with no flex percievable. I really like the keyboard too.

More to follow in my review. Thanks.

I only have 2x1gb sticks.. i can BM the 1gig config but it will not be Dual Channel access. if that matters to you folks!

my ram is in my sig and i have not researched my CPU overclocking at this time. I started the BM's at 7am this morning and just finished mutiple configs of the BASE out of box MCE2k5 with all the crapware.

see the other thread for details!

Thanks to all for all the input.. See my other thread for more BM info.
