    Got my 1530 today - love it. No heat buildup as others have mentioned and it's of a solid build quality.

    Ran a 3dMark06 and got 4177 which is on the lower side.

    I don't want to reinstally Vista so any recommendations on what i should uninstall, do to get my scores up to 4300?

    you cant uninstall anything...and make 3dmark go up
    thats stock 8600mgt speeds,

    you can overclock though, and get ur score up to 6000 with super tweaking and cooling control... or around 5000 with just a bit of OC...

    5000 would be enough for now. Any recommendation on mem/clock settings?

    well, i personally use 525/752...
    others have been known to push up to 600 or 700 o_O

    Core clocks is the one that boosts the performance, rly.
