Original Dell A00 drivers & standard 275/590 MHz GPU/memory settings:

3DMark05: 2361
3DMark03: 6695
3DMark01SE: 17695
AquaMark3: 40884

Latest Dell A03 drivers & overclocked to 380/780 MHz GPU/memory (just below the highest stable speeds I can get):

3DMark05: 3665
3DMark03: 8938
3DMark01SE: 20096
AquaMark3: 53491

Newest drivers improved 3DMark05 and 3DMark03, but were slightly slower for 3DMark01SE and AquaMark3. Overclocking the GPU made a lot more difference than overclocking the memory.

Cheers,
Phil.

Forgot to mention that was with a 2GHz CPU, 1GB RAM & a 60GB 7200 rpm HDD. Can't think of a 15.4" laptop that runs games much faster.

Cheers,
Phil Spencer.

Thanks for the update. My laptop shipped this morning so should have it soon. Can't wait to try some stuff out. I take it that with a 3DMark05 score around 3k it should play HL2 and D3 pretty well. What about games like Rome: Total War?
