Pretty good for a $950 laptop, in my opinion.

Yep, yep. Paid $15 more for mine. I like the dual hard drives in mine, but I wish it could be RAIDed instead of just two drives.

The 5.1 and 5.3 that you guys have. What utility tells you your score?

Still riding 5.9s!! AND THEY SPINNIN'
Anyway, it's a feature that Vista has that is like a 3dmark score for your entire system. Only Vista does it in like 30 seconds.

Many ways to get to it in Vista, but I usually just open the "Games" window, and it is a link there on the right.

And you paid how much more than I did?

Eleventy Billion dollars.
Not that much given all the extra stuff she got. But, more none the less. She doesn't have a desktop, so she expects/needs more from her laptop.

Took me ahbout 1hr 15min to copy 40GB of mp3's from my server to the laptop, connected at gigabit speed (just checked that for the first time, to be sure...), and the slow part - the 5400 RPM drive on the laptop.
Server may be 5400 RPM, now that I think about it. Don't remember. But I think it was SATA, so....

That's really slow for gigabit. You were getting 71Mb/s, or 9MB/s, which would even be retardedly slow for a 5400 RPM 2.5" laptop HD.

This server-side comm has always been slow. I built the whole thing, case included, for less than $400, 3 or 4 years ago.
The other day I was moving... 300MB/s, I think it was, over the LAN. Cake might remember the actual numbers, I asked him if that was a good speed, and his answer was, "Sounds like the theoretical max."
