Joker, how can you RMA the laptop, if you have had it apart and modified the heat sink etc?

All the parts are Dell original parts including the new heatsink I stuck on there. As long as you buy from Dell it's covered under warranty. Dell doesn't void the warranty if they authorize you to open the laptop (which they did for me since their tech damaged my laptop before).

I'd really like to see a link to 3DMark06 compare at this miracle 15K score!!!!

I know everyone is prone to exagerate, but you need to at least make it sound sensible!

The current record 3DMark06 score is held by a known benchmark nut (Kingpin) at 13,358 and he was using an AM2 socket FX62 at 3.676Ghz with DDR2 1000Mhz memory, 2 x 7900GTX cards pushed to their max on phase change cooling.

So please share your Intel secret and post a link to futuremark compare?

Umm...it was a prediction not a score...

I need a new CPU.

On my stock OCed EVGA 7900 GT at about 560 core:

3DMark Score 4694 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 2315 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 2263 Marks
CPU Score 930 Marks


I'm hoping my new x1900 xt proves to be a solid upgrade, but I don't think that will show in 3dmark06.
