Hi Durf, The score reflects the lowest performing part of the computer. If you compared all the tests not just the overall score to see if there is greater performance on the Vostro.

After picking up a new Dell Vostro 300 with a minimal config (Vista Experience = 3.5), doing a clean install of Vista SP1 integrated on it, and seeing how it *flew* compared to the laptop, I redid the laptop, and now it performs fine. The desktop still seems subjectively a bit faster for everyday use, though, which is odd as the scores are so divergent. -- Durf On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 7:45 AM, Ken Schaefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My wife has a top of the line Sony SZ48 series Vaio.
