First Ill give my specs: P4 3.0, 1024MB PC3200, 60gig/7200rpm, ATI 9600. 15.4 screen runnng on 1680/1050. My 3DMark 03 score has been high 2500s. Thats fine. Another thing is that my power strip is a little messed up now and i think im gonna have to reinstall it. I cant clock over 140 in either option.
For fun, because I had benchmarked with 3DMark01 on my old desktop, I decided to give it a try on here to see how they compared. My Desktop config was: AMD 2800 Barton(2.08ghz) 333fsb, Corsair XMS PC 3200 512MB 400fsb, 80gig 7200 w/ 8mb cache, Asus 87n8x mobo, and ATI 9700 Pro AIW, viewsonic vx500 15" flat screen @1024 x 768. My Area 51m score on 3D-01 was 9000. My old desktop was like 14000. Now I know theres a gap between the video cards, but they are both 128MB cards. But the processor is better in the notebook. Plus I had less ram in the desktop too. What I would like to know is, where is this (huge) gap between the two systems? Is the mobil graphics card that much less powerful than the desktop version? I wouldve thought that my AW would at least come close to the desktop. Ive read the posts on increasing the score, and ive done most of the steps, with minimal improvement in the score. Im down to like 20 services running when I last ran the test, but that only gained me like 20 pts on 03. Maybe its just the powerstrip problem, i see you can get big gains from changing the settings , and like i said, i cant change mine. Any ideas?
