Anyone know when the Latitudes or Precisions will offer better graphics cards?

At video processing, yes.

 

Did you make sure to get drivers from laptopvideo2go?

 

actually your 3dmark score is pretty good.

you should be able to handle all games on fine settings.

it is normal, that 3dmark is not made for watching.
you will always score 0-2 fps in the cpu stress test,
even with a 3 ghz core2duo. that is because the test is made
to check the cpu and let the gpu rest in order to achieve
more exact results.

it is the OVERALL score that counts.

your 3dmark score is as good as it can get in a 15" business laptop.

if you want even better gaming performance, get yourself a 17" laptop
with a fx3600/fx3700/8800/9800 card. or a desktop at 1/4th of the price.

oh, and i see no reason to use the laptopvideo drivers if you don't have
any very specific problems with dell's stock drivers. from my experience the dell
ones are usually the best choice.

 

Yes, all CPUs suck at intensive graphics, that's why GPUs are needed for gaming in the first place.

 

I installed the latest one 177.98...3Dmark06 score dropped 400 points so I restored back to Dells drivers.

Thanks for the CPU clear up guys. I guess it'll stick to math ... an awesome score in passmark for math.
