950GMA vs X1400, WEI Aero/Gaming Mark 3.5/3.2 to 4.6/3.9 :)

1400x1050 resolution, T7200 CPU with 2GB RAM. 1920x1200 crushes it with an Aero score of 1.0 *edit: since I added 3GB total RAM now, my score doesn't change when I go to 1920x1200, it's reporting 1407MB total video RAM, before it was about half that)) I don't know if performance will improve with the LCD on the laptop itself....until I get a proper cable on Monday, I am running it on my NEC 2490WUXi.

Not as big a jump as I thought I'd get though. Curious on the scores a 5250 puts up.

The rest of the numbers:

Processor: 5.1
Memory: 5.1
Graphics: 4.6 (was 3.5 with 950GMA)
Gaming Graphics: 3.9 (was 3.2 with 950GMA)
Primary HD: 5.8

Interesting results.

Would it be possible for you to do a comparison of battery life of GMA950 vs X1400, with all other things being equal?

Probably not going to happen it hasn't been fun rebuilding this machine from scratch so far with idiot merchants not sending the proper parts.

As it is now I have it without a top(LCD) because the last part I needed was sold as the right FRU, but really for a R60 and not the T60.

My new cable lands Monday...then I can at least do a battery test.

Is there a standard test or just let it idle?

I do plan on undervolting eventually.

You can just let it idle for about 10 minutes, and track the average time remaining displayed. Or you can do a CPU-intensive test which will run through the battery relatively quickly. There are lots of methods. They are not 100% accurate, but give a good feeling...
