My notebook - help needed.

[eggs15]

Hello!
I started this thread because of this story:
2 weeks ago my notebook have an accident. I was playing and, everything turn off and that is.
On guaranty the give me almost NEW notebook.
When i get my notebook back I instaled windows xp 32-bit and all the drivers.

No I feel like my game (Lineage 2) with full detials is going "worse/slower" than before this accident.
I'm sure I get the same parts from the guaranty company like before this accident.
I instaled the same drivers and windows.

That is why I do
PASSMARK Performance Test 6.1

My notebook is:
Intel core duo cpu T8300 @ 2.4GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512.
4 GB Ram.
320GB sata hard disc.

And the test was:

My question is that my notebook "score" from this test is ok? or not?
Is there something to do what can improve my notebook "speed".

I am looking forward to gearing from You!
It is very important for me!

P.S
I'm sorry for my english, cuz I know it sucks-.-

People who have purchased the PerformanceTest software can download V6 baseline files from our database of more than 12000 benchmark results and easily compare their machine to other machines.

There are also some initial baseline results included with the software itself. (under the baseline menu option).

And if you are just interetsed in CPU performance, there is the http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ site.

A score of 659 is pretty good for a portable, and the CPU and disk number are about what I would expect. But it well below the current highest score (which is 4400+ for a high end workstation).

Maybe the device drivers have changed from before (especially the video card drivers).
