Low performance test score on HP Pavilion DV6-3013cl

[priyantha]

I ran performance test 64bit on my brand new HP Pavilion DV6-3013cl laptop and compaired with a base line form same model. Scores from my laptop are considerably lower than base line. Specially memory score is way below. I would like to get any feedback on what could cause this.
Processor HP Pavilion dv6-3013 AMD Phenom II N930 Quad-Core 2.0 GHz
OS W7 Home Premium 64bit
RAM 4G
Graphics ATI Radeon HD Mobile with 320mb memory.
Scores for my laptop and base line as follows

The other thing is integer math score for AMD Phenom II processor seems very low 300 to 400 anybady know why is that?
thanks in advance

See this old post.
Causes and Solutions for a slow PC

My guess would be that you are running the 32bit release of PerformanceTest on your 64bit O/S.

If you have 64bit Windows you should try and use 64bit software.

Check that you are both running on mains power and that the laptop isn't running in a power saving mode.

[priyantha]

Thanks for that instruction. I was using Power Saver Mode. Scores increased after changing to High Performance mode. As follows
