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.

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

probably the same here,Im waiting for an affordable 45nm quad.

and il probably upgrade my ram to 800Mhz so i can overclock even more.

I get a 3.2 because of my integrated graphics. Everything else is a in 4's I think. Can't wait until I buy a laptop this summer, then I can actually run games decently :)

For some reason my processor went down the 5.8 when I put on x64 Vista:confused: We'll see if it goes back up when I put x86 back on...
