So where are our Dell benchies? I like hearing from the user's themselves (not from a review site)...

Pyrosburn inspiron 600m

Hi I was thinking of buying this notebook too (inspiron 600m), but with a DVD-RW which is now available. The configuration I want is:
Intel Pentium®M,1.6GHz,14.1SXGA+ ATI 64MB Video
512MB,DDR,266MHz RAM
2x CD/DVD burner (DVD+RW/+R)
40GB Hard Drive
Dell TrueMobile™1400 DualBand WLAN (802.11a/b/g, 54Mbps)
64MB Dell USB Memory Key and Modular Floppy Drive
Cost ~$2600

I wanted to ask you how much this notebook really weighs when you get it home and if you have any complaints about it (even minor ones). Finally, what is the difference is between the inspiron 600m and latitude d600 with similar configuration.

Its very light... about 5 pounds with the cd drive in. I am not sure of the difference between it and the D600 except the D600 is more money and only comes with the 32 meg video card.

Ok something is up here..

I'm guessing 3dMARK isn't necessarily an indicative test?

How is the Go4200 beating a derivative of the Fx5600, with only half the VRAM?

Easy, 3dmark2001 is way obsolete. It will test DirectX 6.1-8.1. It's more or less a really dated program and it's too bad that most everyone leans on it for "performance data" when its just a synthetic benchmark.

3dmark2003 is better. This is shader sensitive, and tests DX9 like capabilities of cards. The DX8 performance doesn't vary too much between the 5600 and the 4200. Infact, I read somewhere that it has 4x1 type-something where the 4200 has a 4x2 (for faster texture rendering or something). Since DX8 is texture heavy and DX9 is shader heavy, the 5600 will be much faster in DX9 games and software than the 4200. Let's see some 3dmark2003 scores and you'll get an idea.

I completly disagree with fusion i have complete lack of respect for anyone who uses 3dmark 2003 as a synthetic gaming benchmark. First off DX9 is unknown territory so few games use dx9 tehc even ati and nvidia arnt really sure of its direction yet. Right now the best jude of gaming lies in DX7-DX8.1 because all the games use that . the largest portions of Games use DX7 then DX8 then DX 6 then DX 9 including upcoming unreleased games like HL2 and Doom3 and Q4. If you want further proof of how horrid of a benchmark 2k3 is rad the comparisson guide done by acehardware about the pentium2 350Mhz with a radeon 9700 vainnal beat a pentium4 2.8 ghz with a radeon 9600 pro

there is too much controversy over 3dmark2003 that it has become less effective as a "trustworthy" benchmark. even though they say that 330 is totally unbiased, you never really know. let's all wait for 3dmark2005! lol

It's still apples to apple comparison if you are upgrading and want to see the results of your efforts. Having a "lack of respect" for someone who uses the program is completely hillarious. I think it's past Maverick2o2's bed time.

I've seen many reports saying that the use of the new forceware drivers keep both the perf and the quality high.
Does it mean we can expect the same behaviour on an m60 using the build 330 with the new forceware drivers ?

Do any of you 8600 owners have problems with the keyboards on your machines? I just ordered one myself, but I keep reading about how horrible the keyboards are. What do you guys think?
