i don't have 3dmark 11 right now, using the new 3dmark, whose results are posted some pages earlier (with overclock and 13.2beta7 drivers)..
but i don't think 13.3 would have made any difference in scores, it should be around 2100P...

I've tried it 4-5 times and everytime I'm getting the same problem. The 'Desktop Windows Manager' program crashes after booting the laptop in turn disabling the Windows Aero effects. Tried almost every solution on the net but to no avail.
Edit: made a typo....

Hello guys. I just received my new Inspiron 14r from Flipkart.
( Dell Inspiron 14R SE Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Dell: Flipkart.com ). I have a few questions, so please try to help me out. Thank you.
1) I entered my service tag in dell website and I updated Windows 8. Now, people tell me I need to update drivers as well. Should I do this from Dell website or from intel, nividia etc websites ?
2) There are an awful lot of programs on startup. I do not know which are imporant and which aren't. I opened task manager and the following are those programs - SmartAudio CPL, Microsoft Windows Based Script Host, Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor, Btmshellex, Alps Pointing Device Driver, Delayed Launcher, Quickset, Persistence Module, hkcmd Module, idfxTray Module. Can I disable any of these during startup? It is somewhat slow at the moment.
3) There is a program called Dell Backup and Recovery. Do I need to take backup using this? Should I take it on DVDs or is there a way to create a 20-30GB Recovery partition?
4) I want to partition the 500 GB harddisk into 3 parts. 100 GB for OS, and two 180 GBs for data. Can you please point me how to do this? Will I be able to do it from Disk Management ? Will 100Gb be sufficient for OS ? ( I plan to install games in the data partition.)
P.S I don't have a licensed Windows 8. Else I would have done a clean install.

1.The drivers from Dell are safe to install. The ones from intel, nVidia etc. may or may not work every time. Its all up to you.
2. From the given list, you can do away with the Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor, its not much of a use.
3. There may already be a recovery partition in your laptop, check in Disk Manager. If its already there, you dont need any recovery.
4. 100GB is a bit less for the OS partition. I have given 250GB to it and its already almost half full, even though I install games in another partition. Disk Management will be able to partition your HDD.

it all depends on how to use it, for most of the users, 100GB is more than enough, believe me, i am a hardcore user and most of the softwares i use are very large in size, yet C: usage never exceeded 70GB (i have 130GB allocated to C
