    hey guys,

    I've just ran a bench mark using the free version of 3DMark06 - my score was:

    4678 3DMarks
    SM 2.0 Score 1866
    SM 3.0 Score 1783
    CPU Score 2192

    How good are these scores? My spec is: xps1530 /T9300/3gig of ram/8600GT DDR3 256mb/using 169.09

    Query about the BIOS. Has dell fitted the wrong card? I was poking around in my bios and came across this: NB8P-GS, i was suspicious that dell has given me a GS card and not a GT? The 3DMark06 also detects my card as: NVIDIA GeForce Go 8600 GS

    However the adapters function show my card as GeForce 8600M GT with memory size 512mb *confused* I'm using modified drivers from laptopvideo2go site ver 169.09

    thanks in advance!
