hmmm, it looks like RAM is rated by the speed of whatever you have rather than how much RAM you have.

I have 1.5 GB and get a 3.5. You have less and get a 5.9, and I saw someone else has 512 and got a 5.9 also.

Keep in mind you're also comparing an Athlon 64 memory controller to probably an nforce memory controller (or whatever chipset you're using).

Opteron 146@ 2.8GHz: 4.1
1GB XMS @ DDR560: 5.9
30GB Partition on 2x80GB SATA-II RAID: 5.11
6800GT PCI-E w/88.61 Drivers: 2.4
Gaming: 256MB DDR3: 3.2

Can anyone figure that out? My 6800GT is NOT a 2.4 card. As it stands now, dwm.exe causes HUGE CPU usage with Aero Glass on. I've tried reinstalling the Nvidia drivers, too.

I got a 3 on my laptop.

Pentium-M 2.26
1gb DDR3-533
X300 128mb
60gb 5400rpm 8mb cache

I don't remember the individual numbers breakdown, and I'm too lazy to repartition and reinstall it on my laptop.

 

[Solema]

Well, I googled "88.61 Vista problems" and found some others with the same issue I had. So I found someone who said they installed the 87.45 drivers and it fixed things, so I googled that and downloaded and installed the 87.45 drivers.

MUCH IMPROVED Ratings:

CPU: 4.1
RAM: 5.9
HDD: 5.2
Video: 5.9
Gaming: 5.0

Overall: 4

I have 88.61 installed and I get 5.9 with my 7800gs. But performance in Aereo is crappy. Dragging or resizing Windows brings CPU usage to 100%. I'm gonna try 87.45 tonight.

 

[Solema]

Noema, I went to 87.45 and it fixed ALL of my issues. Check it out.

 

[akshayt]

this is a crappy rating

 

[ITJunkie]

Dell Inspiron 8600, Pentium M 1.8 Ghz, 1 GB Ram, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB graphics, 40GB 7200rpm hard drive.
Overall score was 3.5 if I remember right. Uninstalled Vista because the processor was overtaxed.

CPU: 5.2
Memory: 5.1
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming Graphics: 5.8

[quizzelsnatch]

Odd. an x800pro gets the same rating as a x1800XT? How does that even work?

 

[Noema]

Overall my ratings are good but the tiny partition I put Vista in bogs the whole number down::

Processor: AMD A64 3200+ 4.1
Memory: 1 GB PC3200DDR 400 4.3
GPU: GeForce 7800GS (AGP) 5.9 Desktop; 5.6 Gaming
HDD: 20GB partition on a Maxtor 2.8

Overall: 2.8, but doesn't worry me as this is just a test partition

Every time I try to run that thing it crashes at "Assessing disk performance" and never finishes....

Edit: On the plus side though, I did at one point get a message from MS saying that my problem would be fixed in Vista RTM...

 

[luigionlsd]

Processor - Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (@stock 2.2) - 4.9
RAM - 2x1gb Patriot DDR400, CL2 - 4.9
Graphics - GF 7900 GT using latest NV drivers - 5.9
Gaming GFX - same - 5.9
Primary HD - Seagate 250gb SATA - 5.5

Tried 64-bit the other day and it was crash-happy. On x86 right now and it's running just fine!

I suppose I'm obligated to update my scores now that RC1 is out.
Keep in mind that I'm using the latest NVIDIA drivers for video, and am using Vista x64 now.

[toant103]

4.0 with my notebook

 

[jimbob200521]

5.0 with my desktop, specs in sig.

 

[ProviaFan]

It's time to post an update due to the release of RC1; having installed the x64 edition, here are my new scores:

Processor: 4.9 (Athlon 64 X2 4400+ at stock speed - 2.2GHz)
Memory: 4.9 (4x 1GB Transcend PC3200 DDR at stock)

[Jman13]

Machine is the one in my sig. I'm using the x64 edition of RC1.

Processor: 4.1 (Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2.2GHz)
Memory: 4.5
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming Graphics: 5.1
Pimary Hard Disk: 4.8 (installed on my slowest drive, since I didn't want to clear a partition on my bigger drives, and my XP system drive is the fastest one)

Overall: 4.1
