    Hmm.....I would go and check out Futuremarks website and do a project comparison. When I did, it seems that people are getting 3000-3500 3DMark06 scores with the Nvidia Go 7900 GS.

    Different drivers may not make the score too much more then that but over clocking would heres a web site that helps explain changing the drivers

    Ps that 3dmark score is just fine for stock and actually pretty dang fast for a laptop

    my xps desktop only gets 5071 in 3dmark06 and its a beast with a 7900gtx

    Overclocking doesn't go against your warranty, but if you GPU gets fried because of the overclock, Dell won't cover it.

    Or drop it in the pool lol

    Honestly i wouldnt bother over clocking it the diff is minamal your eyes can only see so much, i think people sometimes go too over board with the speed factor these new lappys are plenty fast enough

    Those scores actually seem a little low. I get about 3900 with my Quadro 1500M, which is supposed to be quite similar to a 7900GS. You might try a reformat or something to get some of the Dell crapware off and reduce the number of running processes (if you haven't already). Still, over 3k in 3dmark06 is a very nice score for a notebook.

    Yeah I too have an e1705, and my stock scores were about 3900 with settings on max performance. I didn't perform a clean install of the OS either, just uninstalled crapware using Crap Cleaner, then removed the excess registry entries. After overclocking, I'm up to 4613. Specs of my system are in sig, only thing I can see making the difference is the RAM, but I don't think it'd be almost 1000 points difference.

    yeah, crap cleaner is a program you can download and it is an amazing program that will clean out registry entries. Of course, as with anything that touches the registry, be careful as it could screw up your computer. Make sure to backup all the registry changes, so that if you need to, you can restore the registry.

    Crap cleaner also has its own add/remove programs, remove startup programs, and the cleaner itself, which deletes cookies, temporary files, etc. to open up space.

    Download it here:
