"Benchmarking in Quake 3"

I can't for the life of me remember how to do it :(
something like "timedemo 001"
please put me out of my misery :)

Albert I meant good (informative) content websites, not good to buy !
Thanks for the thought though.

I think Alienware do laptops. Don't expect them to be cheap, mind.

I really need to find some good laptop sites, any suggestions anyone ?

He's exaggerating a bit, but you would certainly see a healthy increase. :)

what nearly a ten fold increase ?

Haha.

Mate with a Radeon you're looking more at 9000.

It's on a laptop with on board 32mb Intel graphics, it runs well on "mediumish" at 800x600 so does what I need it to.

I guess if I had a Radeon 9000 tucked inside that score would probably double ?

You could probably get a good smooth image plus solid fps synced with a 85/100 hertz monitor refresh rate with that, ill probably go to 1280x at 85hertz though.

Nah, FX5600 256mb. Absolutely all the graphical options are turned on, mind you. Card should pick up when the DX9 games are released.
