Yeah, it does. I know this because of my laptop, again. It is using ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, but Vista recognizes it as a Radeon Xpress 200M card. Before I install the correct driver, I get the score of 2.4 for Graphics Performance. After the driver installation, I get 2.1.

I wonder how much the Graphics drivers influence that result. Anyone know?

I wish that there were more details available. I know that I don't have the best RAM . . but I have 2 GB just like Justin and Fuzzy but I end up with a score of 4.1 and they have 5.9 and 5.0 respectively.
Seems like a pretty crappy measurement system to me.

Mine was 5.4 before (I think), but I think the timings are being affected as I overclock.
Edit... thinking on it, I have a matched pair (1 gig each) of 800mhz DDR2 corsair memory. You guys?

Yea, my gaming dropped from 4.8 to 4.7 as well after the last Nvidia "update". That's what made me thinking...

Damn!

Your graphics card (Radeon X1300) isn't good. It's actually worse than Radeon X800 . so I think that kinda explains the low score, no?

Well that pisses me off. Because I called Dell (after) I got my computer and that was the Card that recommended. They sent me the Card and I had to take it to a Tech. here in town and he put it in for me. I had someone from Dell orginally help me put it together when I bought it but I wanted the Ulimate software (if I had to have Vista.)
So both times they didn't give me the best Video Card. (Am I rambling) I think so , it's late, but I wish I knew more, so I didn't have to relie on other people.
Oh, Well Good night......

My card doesnt have any problems rendering anything at all really, all my games work fine on it, and Aero is a breeze. It's just that it scores low....I mean it works fine (for me anyway)
