well the gtx 260m gpu's arent equal to a regular gtx 260. They are about similar to a 9800gt , but that still wouldn't explain this low score. I would first check under the nvidia control panel and see if sli is enabled, then completely wipe the drivers off and DL the updated drivers from nvidia.

Yes I know I'm quite aware of this he's not complaing he can't get more FPS so he can be cool but he is using this result as a median to other systems like his. Obviously it should do the same as other computers like his which it isn't.
However he did everything you guys told me to tell him, and his Source Stress Test FPS average increased to 175. That's 45 better than before, still odd why it's not competeing with the same systems as he has in the 250's.

Check again! Just yesterday (12/04/09) Nvidia released a new notebook graphics driver. Nvidia's notebook driver program's goal is a quarterly driver release, so don't expect monthly releases like desktop graphics drivers.

Are you sure you are comparing to EXACT same systems? As mentioned earlier, notebook cards are NOT the same as the desktop cards that share the same model number, and are a LOT slower. Also, if you are comparing to web reviews, most of the reviewers get their notebooks totally decked out and the M17X would usually get reviewed with a QX9300 which is a much faster CPU. Your friend's Q9000 is only 2.0GHz, which is not that fast compared to any recent desktop quad core. Also, some enthusiasts like to tweak driver settings to gain FPS at the expense of IQ.
Also, what resolution?
