    I have a MBP and have installed bootcamp on it (naturally to play games).

    I have the T7500 with the 128mg nvidia card + uprade 4gb of Ram


    Well I keep trying to get score on PCMark05, and 3DMark06

    but they are freaking weak!

    like 2700 on PCMark05...wich is abnormal...
    But when I play games its not slow.

    My computer can play Supreme Commander with thousands of units at the same time without lagging...

    And PCmark05 detects my HDD as an IDE while its ATA-150 (SATA)

    ... does anyone know why this is happening?

    The graphics drivers from the Boot Camp install aren't the best drivers out there...you can get much higher scores if you download your own drivers, and most of our MBP useres here do that.

    As for what website they use, I forget. Someone will bring it up.

    The new Boot Camp 2.0 ForceWare Drivers are the same as from Boot Camp v1.4 Beta, that's ForceWare v101.34.
