Test Setup - Toshiba Satellite X205-S9359: DX10 to go, please!
Publish date: 2024-06-24
Test SetupLike pretty much all new notebooks, Toshiba is shipping the X205 with Windows Vista. They eliminate any need to compromise on what software or features Microsoft includes by jumping straight to Windows Vista Ultimate. One of these days we might actually start wanting to use a 64-bit operating system, but with only 2GB of memory and a few remaining quirks with 64-bit drivers (particularly for laptops), sticking with a 32-bit operating system for the time being is reasonable.

We have not yet finished running all of our benchmarks on this laptop, and we are working on adding a few new tests including MobileMark 2007. For this first look at the Satellite X205, we will be running a few performance suites, gaming benchmarks, and battery life tests. Additional testing will follow in the near future. All tests were run three times and we took the highest result. The prefetch folder was cleared before each benchmarking run.
