    Okay, here are the performance tests for 4GB of memory. I will return tonight, right now, i gotta go and have some fun. Happy 4th July.

    If you ask my opinion. I would say the stock nvidia driver needs more work.... really. Sure, the 3D mark scores are higher than intel X3100. But overall performance, it's disappointing.

    My other D630 w/X3100, Vista 3D flip ran smoothly with no lags. However, my new D630 with NVS 135m seems to lag often with Vista 3D flip. Basically, it's not smooth. I'm note sure it's the graphics card or the drivers. I'm again disappointed. Any ideas?

    I also have the nvs and am a bit disappointed with vista/drivers. I assume that its the drivers for the NVS - Aero is kind of laggy at places.
    Also, its not as fast as the core 2 duo 2gigs should be.
    I think I'm gonna dual boot with XP, and if XP is noticeably faster, im gonna make the switch back to XP.

    Thanks for the benchmarks

    I got the core 2 duo 2ghz.
    In about an hour, I will reformat to XP because vista is annoying me.

    Where do i download the files to do the test? I'll try it out before the reformat

    977 is my 3dmark06 score.
    I used the driver from laptopvideo2go, thats probably why it is higher

    I have 2ghz, 2gigs ram, and vista ultimate.

    Reformat time..

    Did 3dmark scores improve with newer drivers?
