m60

Question

i thought i would give you the scores for 3d mark 2003 for a m60 3d mark 2003 = 2287 (quadro fx go 700 128 mb) my quadro 4 700 go gl got about 1000. i think i'm getting a lower score than i should though because the processor seems to be running slow. 1.7 ghz centrino (running at 600 mhz.) no one can fix it. 2048 meg ram quadro fx go 700 128 mb 40 gb 5400 hard drive great machine other than the processor.

The post discusses the scores for 3d mark 2003 for an M60. The author mentions that their Quadro 4 700 go gl got a score of about 1000, but they believe it is lower than expected due to a slow processor. They have a 1.7 GHz Centrino processor running at 600 MHz. The author also provides details about the RAM, hard drive, and graphics card of their machine. In response to the post, someone suggests checking the power settings to ensure the CPU is running at full speed.

The answer suggests checking for the 'burn in' effect and mentions that CPU speed can greatly impact the scores. It also asks about game performance and states that benchmarks may not be representative.

the cpu is not a production model and something is wrong with it. the computer was a dell demo. i don't really play any games but it's great for our cad software. i'm sure once i get the processor swapped, the score will go up alot.

PphoenixX · Answer

so there is no 'blur' or windows which don't disappear when the screen changes ? ( this burn in effect seen on Inspiron 8500 - using a samsung WUXGA 15,4'' ( 1920x1200 ) )
Pity you don't play games - but I know how small project time frames can be - maybe it's even better not to play any games :)

My M60 - currently in Boxing stage - appears to be due to be delivered ahead of schedule sometime next week.  As soon as it arrives I'll post the part number for the Quadro FX Go700 128mb.  The item number as listed on my order status page is 320-0707.  I'm not certain if that number is of any use when ordering, but another individual was apparently able to order the 7200rpm 60gb HDD (item number 340-9357) through Small Business spare parts by using an item number so it might be worth a shot.

CECarl · Answer

I'd be happy to.  I already have 3dMark2001SE and 3dMark2003 downloaded and ready to go.  Just need the machine now...

CECarl · Answer

It looks like the cost for the 7200rpm 60gb HDD is $349 + shipping (~$10).  Check out autobahn75's post on this thread.

cool, if it's not too much trouble could you post the following info when you get your M60 - the core and memory clock speeds for the quadro fx go video card and if possible a 3dmark 2001SE score. Thanks a lot.

Your CPU is utilizing Intel's SpeedStep technology... Your score seems fine, my 2.8 Ghz Pentium 4 with a GeForce FX 5600 Go scores a couple of hundred points higher than that, maybe 200 at most...  Your scores are fine.

pcm1ke · Answer

I'll try to do that when I get mine if the other gentlemen doesn't post before I get mine. I just ordered and it should arrive sometime around the 23rd (or so says dell :P)!

^-- in regards to the benchmark question
