Vista Rating

Kewl Munky · 04-21-2008, 01:40 PM

What's your Vista rating. Post all your subscores.

Processor: 5.6

RAM: 5.9

Graphics: 5.9

Gaming Graphics: 5.9

Primary Hard Disk: 5.9

Base Score: 5.6

For those of you not familiar with this because you haven't used Vista, a base score is just a rating from 1 to 5.9 of your computers hardware. With Vista, they plan to have software give base score ratings of your hardware to help people (idiots -.-) to better find compatible software for their computer. Your base score is the lowest subscore.

Nevakonaza · 04-21-2008, 01:52 PM

im pretty sure theres already a post on this but...
i get 5.5 with my processor been the bottleneck,I did get 5.6 wheni bumped my cpu to 2.8 and ram over 800mhz.

Kewl Munky · 04-21-2008, 01:56 PM

My CPU is the bottleneck as well. No worries though. I'm upgrading to an Intel Q6600 this summer ^_^

**Archangel** · 04-21-2008, 02:02 PM

had the memory on 5.6, went to the bios, putted it to 960MHz (instead of 800) with fixed timings, and voilla ^_^

My HDD sucks, and I'm not sure why my RAM isn't getting a higher Score, take Shane's for example?
