    I just ran 3Dmark06 (free version)
    546 was the score I got... To me that is a bit low... (MSI Wind sort of level).
    SM 2.0 Score 167
    SM 3.0 Score 211
    CPU Score 2020
    specs
    8400 2.4 GHz CPU
    x3100 GPU
    320 GB 5,400 HD
    3 Gig ram

    Is something wrong?

    I just thought it was kind of weird that it only found 1 other PC in the same region as me.

    Onboard graphics are pretty weak. Your processor score should blow up a Wind however. Doesn't mean your computer blows, it just means that you won't be enjoying any 3d games on it.

    i guess my dad could get the laptop. he does not game... Anyways I still want something smaller like the Lenovo x200 (im really excited for this one).
    well I have a 360 for gaming right now so games are not high on the list.
    But what games could run well?

    I like blowing up winds... you made me laugh so hard lol :)

    On your current system, I wouldn't try running anything with extensive 3d graphics. Which narrows you down to playing basically nothing. You can play the games bundled with Windows, download bejeweled or 'battle for wesnoth' or something like that.

    If you want to game, you can do a lot better with a desktop. If you really want to do it on a laptop, you should be prepared to drop some coin. Especially if you want to play anything up-to-the-minute. Generally speaking, you'll want to look for the best graphics card you can afford.
