did u try getting the new drivers and the such. if you didn't try updating all of your drivers and then run the test. let me know how it goes. hopefully they will start building my laptop before the weekend and i should get it late next week or early the week after.

I installed all the drivers BEFORE I ran 3dmark05...but I remember some people who took their m9700's right out the box and ran 3dmark05 and came out with benchmarks in the 9600-9700 range...and then after installing the updates to the drivers they were getting 9800 and sometimes...10k+. If you guys have any more advice for me, please let me know and thanks in advance!!!

hmmm, the only thing that I can really think of is to change the image quality in the 3dmark05 presets to High Performance instead of Quality

I haven't tried that yet because I should be getting higher scores without messing with any of the settings. What I should have done was run 3dmark05 the second I started the computer up.

Maybe they got a big shipment in and we can all be happy.

i've already installed a bunch of crap, and i'm still getting that 9500 score (keep in mind i've got the ML40, i didn't go for the ML44) and it runs incredibly well. It luaghs at doom, HL2 at 1920x1200 runs flawlessly, and i actually haven't gotten around to fear yet but more to come in my review, next week, (i'm gonna be out of town :P)

Do you have any anti-virus stuff running??? I'm wondering if that is what is keeping mine from getting 9800...I have McAfee and Webroot's Spysweeper...would those programs cause my lappy to not reach 9800 on 3dmark05?

got another update for u guys. Yup im still in phase 3 seems like they had some parts on back order. my platronics headset, and the mimo wireless card. anne the rep. said that the headset came in today but the wireless card wouldn't be in till the 10th, and another 2 days to validate the part. so actual building of the comp probably won't start untill monday the 14th. so who knows when my 9700 will actually be shipped.
