Hi, I tested my laptop with 3dmark 2001. Who can tell me why my 3dmark score is so low even I installed the D-Force driver and 42.90. I shut down all the firewall and anti-virus program before testing. The current display clock is 221Mhz b'cos I dont want to tweak it. I only get 30xx 3Dmark if I use the Dell default drivers.

My result are as follows:

Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000

DirectX Version 9.0

Mobo Model Inspiron 8200

Yes, it's a mobile MX440 by the looks of it, and That score is actually quite reasonable, most laptops/notebooks are not designed with games in mind.

well the more expensive higher end ones are for gaming in mind
