E6400-6500 Windows 7 Index Rating

I just was wondering what some of you are getting in Windows 7 Index Rating.

I have the Intel GPU and was always getting 3.4 overall. I was having issues getting VS 2008 to work without going crazy with SearchIndexer.exe and re-installed 7 just now. Somehow my score is now a 4.1, using the same drivers.

Processor: 6.0
Memory: 6.0
Graphics: 4.1
Gaming graphics: 4.1
Primary hard disk: 5.9

I have a P8600, 4GB Memory, Intel GPU, 320GB 7200RPM WD Black.

 

Intel does something to cheat it's way to get a better score or a miss test.
My Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M has lower score than what you have. This makes no sense, as the Intel X4500XHD is equivalent to a Geforce 7400M without being really programmable like all other GPU's from ATI and Nvidia. While the Quadro NVS 160M is equivalent to a Geforce 9400M but with 256MB dedicated memory instead of none (so faster.. but not as fast as a Geforce 9500M).

Processor: 5.9
RAM: 5.9
Graphics - Aero: 3.4
Gaming: 5.3
HDD: 5.3

System specs on signature.

 

I recall that the Intel GPU would also outscore nVidia in the Vista WEI (non-gaming) graphics test. My understanding is that while the Intel GPU is poor at 3D graphics, it is good at 2D graphics.

P9500. Intel GPU. 4GB DDR2 800Mhz. Hitachi 500GB 5400RPM.

 

For comparison, the E4300 with SP9400 CPU, 4GB DDR3-1066, Intel GS45 chipset with 4500MHD graphics and 160GB Seagate HDD scores:

Processor: 6.0
Memory: 6.0
Graphics: 3.9
Gaming Graphics: 3.4
Primary Hard Disk: 5.9

I don't have the details to hand but I recall that the GPU in the GS45 chipset runs slower than the same GPU in the GM45 chipset (as in the E6400 with integrated graphics).
