Post your Windows Vista Experience Index

5.4 for me off the top of my head.

My E6850 dual core let me down

WTF! (guessing only quads get 5.9)

Corsair value select doesn't cut it by the looks of it :/

Zelig · Apr 1, 2008, 07:20 PM

My poor old S939 system.

If only I could upgrade the CPU without changing the rest of the system...

**Mousey** · Apr 1, 2008, 07:46 PM

Is that DDR or DDR2?
It's lan party so i'm guessing DDR2?

Nope, S939, DDR1. All running on the DFI Ultra-D motherboard I bought back in 2005.

No real room for upgrade left on this, when I really feel the need for a faster processor, I'll have to build a new rig, and delegate this one to something else.

I think that this belongs in the Vista forum so I moved it to here... And I stucked the thread.

Mine's at 5.9

mike2h · Jun 8, 2008, 06:44 PM

5
5.7
5.9
5.7
5.9
score= 5

Customgamer1 · Jun 10, 2008, 02:56 AM

I got a 10 yeah that's right a 10 out of a possible 5.9 because that's how good my computer is!

JK but for a Laptop I think I got a very good score:

5.4
4.8
4.8
5.2
5.4
Score = 4.8

Just Learnin' · Jul 12, 2008, 02:08 PM

Not bad for an E8400

PangingJr · Jul 12, 2008, 06:53 PM

Q9300 at default clock speed, 5.9
2GB DDR2-1066 at default clock freq, 5.9
HD 3650 DDR3 256MB 800/1800, 5.9 (Graphics), 5.6 (Gaming graphics)
2 SATA drives in RAID 0, 5.9

Vista gave the Index base score 5.6.
(1.0 before the graphic card drivers were installed)

RoyBatty · Jul 13, 2008, 01:44 AM

5.9

**MIG-31** · Jul 31, 2008, 12:22 PM

While i was using Vista Ultimate 32 Bit,My rating was 5.6.

After switching to Vista 64 Bit (Home Premium) fully updated with everything installed and defragged.My rating is now 5.8.

Valdeam · Dec 6, 2008, 10:14 PM

5.0

Customgamer1 · Dec 7, 2008, 02:35 AM

Well I updated the video drivers and my Vista score went up

Processor 5.4
Memory 5.0
Graphics 5.0
Gaming graphics 5.3
Hard disk 5.4

Still not bad for a laptop that only cost a little less than $1,300 US!

Knight_Breed · Dec 11, 2008, 09:36 PM

Here is mine ATM

Customgamer1 · Dec 12, 2008, 12:40 AM

Funny you think that CPU of yours would have done a little better lol, but not bad almost perfect

Dyre Straits · Dec 12, 2008, 02:24 AM

Here's my updated one as of just a few moments ago. Interesting that K_B's and my CPUs get the same score. I'm running my E6700 [default 2.66 GHz] @ 3.2 GHz and the score is the same either way.

What does puzzle me is why my system HDD is scoring so 'low'. It's a SATA drive rated @ 300.

Knight_Breed · Dec 12, 2008, 07:16 AM

What HD are you using Dyre?

Well its just an E6550 running @ 3.1G nothing too fancy. I am going to be testing out a new mobo this weekend lets see how it works with DDR3-1333

RIV@NVX · Dec 20, 2008, 06:22 PM

Here's mine:
ASROCK A770CrossFire
Phenom X3 8450
2GB DDR2 800 KINGMAX (used to have 4GB but kX didn't work then)
Radeon HD 4670 (lovin' it)
Samsung 501LJ 500GB SATA 16MB

Is 5.9 maximum score?

Customgamer1 · Dec 21, 2008, 12:11 AM

Yeah 5.9 is the highest you can get!

DJ BIG T · Dec 21, 2008, 01:38 AM

i got a 5.2 i dont get how this works when some of you guys have better set ups then i do...

Not exactly sure how this works but perhaps tweaking the hardware you have provides a better result. Look below and you will see what I mean

Yes you are correct because I just upgraded from a 9600gt to an HD4870 and nothing related to the video card changed. Also some of you may have noticed O/Cing your CPU doesn't help your CPU score much either

Ran this tonight exactly the same ...

tanka12345 · Dec 26, 2008, 09:45 PM

I would post a Vista Index, but my PC's too old to even run Vista. Hopefully if I get a new rig I'll post mine.

**dj_stick** · Jan 5, 2009, 06:11 PM

just installed vista on my macbook air, results aren't that surprising

System:
Macbook Air
Core 2 Duo 1.6Ghz
2 Gb DDR 2 667mhz Ram
Intel GMA3100
1.8" 80Gb 4500RPM HDD

Base Score: 3.5
Processor: 4.6
Memory: 4.7
Graphics: 3.5
Gaming Graphics: 3.5
Hard Disk: 4.4

I think that's pretty respectable considering it's pretty much an ultra portable laptop.

In comparison my mac pro (posted earlier) maxes at 5.9 for everything other than the HDD, which scores 5.8

Mac Daddy · Jan 5, 2009, 06:54 PM

That's actually not to bad at all considering it is ultra portable like you mentioned and really the only low score is video ... which is expected
