Went down 50 points or so. =(
Maybe it's a quality thing. The drivers are optimized for SP1, which i haven't installed yet (ain't broke don't fix it mentality on this OS). I heard people's marks went down w/SP1. Anyone having problems with SP1, b/c i will install it. People w/8500's suggestions extra welcomed.
