What's your Vista Experience score?

OK Bill great advice! Go out and buy Vista! To See How Well It Will Do. That Comment Should Close This Thread, For Pure S...........................................................................................................

 

Too bad you can't run it if you don't have vista, smartass.

 

I do agree! At this Point! But if that is the way it is and all you lemmings go a head jump over the cliff. I hope your little private party is all that! Nice post you are wrong, thanks for the help!

Learn some English. Thanks.

 

I must say I'm disappointed in the scores from these new laptops.

My old (2.8 years old) & recently deceased Inspiron 8600 (2ghz Dolthan, 2gig 333mhz RAM, 60GB 7200RPM HDD & 128MB 9600 Pro Turbo)

Scored:
Base Score: 3.7
Processor: 4.5
Memory: 4.1
Graphics: 3.8
Gaming Graphics: 3.7
Harddisk: 4.4

I would of thought that seeing now basically every new laptop has a processor twice that speed, Ram twice that speed & seeing as my graphics card was mainstream 3 or 4 generations ago the new systems should all be 5.9 all the way :s

I'll try get a screen shot of the scores but seeing as its the graphics card that is broken it might not work so well :s

 

The 9600 Turbo was a great card for the time. I loved mine!

 

Zepto 6024W with T7300 CPU, X3100 GPU, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD:

Base Score: 3.4
Processor: 4.9
Memory: 4.8
Graphics: 3.4
Gaming Graphics: 3.5
Hard Disk: 4.5

It's fine for my needs - I don't need or want fancy graphics. However, the graphics results should improve slightly when Intel release the final X3100 Vista driver which unlocks some additional hardware features.

Why don't you learn another language?
Not everybody has English as mother tongue you know (mine is Dutch for instance)

I also think your first comment was a bit over the top: it's not unreasonable to think you can get a Vista index without having Vista. You might want to know how much you would get if you were running Vista, to help you decide if you should get it or not.

 

I agree the 9600 pro turbo was an awseome card & still goes alright althogh I think one of teh ram chips onh mine died which now results in 50% of teh screen being covered in artifacts all the time :s

 

I know three languages so no thanks on the another language offer and his comment was over the top, don't expect me to expect calmly.

 

you're right, i'm sorry
i only scimmed through the posts and didn't notice the reply about "closing the tread ....." was his
he indeed could've been "a bit" more friendly as well

 

okay lets put out this fire on both sides before it gets any hotter, i am sure he is sorry and that he wont do it again.

anyways i was wondering why is everyone hitting such high scores in graphics than me =(... is my graphics card that carp >.<

 

My new score, added ram so now have a total of 1GB!

 

guys what do u think my lowest scoring category will be? (specs in sig)

 

I think they'll be bad considering you've ordered a laptop that doesn't exist.

You either got the inspiron 1720 or the vostro 1700

 

Disk and memory.

 

Boy can I empathise with you; I'd have a 5.0 system if not for my x1400!; it brings the score to 3.6... Anyways, that's my old Inspiron 9400, and it matters not since my new 1720 is on it's way! (If Dell shipping ever decides to send it )

 

ugh i had to overclock my X1400 just to boost the score to a 4 ... that was pretty sad. so me too brother i can relate =)

that's one fat score
although, with those specs, it'd be disappointing to have less

It's nice. Things are smooth and fast, but I'm comparing it to my 2+ year old desk top. I ran Wprime and my scores were much slower than those of people with similar rigs. I may need to start learning and tweaking.

My nice new shiney m1330
scores 4.1 after a fresh install of vista I'll do some tewaking and get it higher but for now.

processor:4.9
ram:4.8
graphics: 4.1
gaming gfx:4.7
hard drive: 5.2

System specs are
CPU: T7300 2.0Ghz
RAM: 2Gig 667Mhz
HDD: 160gig 7200rpm (low noise mode)
GFX: 8400GS (stock speed)

 

Mine is blocked at 3.6 because of the GPU ( may be the drivers)

<grape8pe> what version of catalyst CC and the ATI drivers were you using to get 3.7/3.8 at stock speed from ur x1400?

 

My laptop's score is a 4.0 base, with the following subscores:
Processor: 4.9
Memory: 4.8 (What is deez..."On-Die Meemoree Kontroller yoo spek ov?")
Graphics: 4.0 (yeah, I don't get it, either)
Gaming Graphics: 4.7 (with 163.44 driver, was 4.6)
Primary Hard Drive: 4.6

How my "Aero Graphics" score is so much less than my "Gaming Graphics" score, I can only imagine. Hopefully it's just drivers.

On my desktop, I have a base of 5.0 until I get my new quad core at the end of the year (assuming AMD pulls through on their release dates).

Processor: 5.0
Memory: 5.9 (Yes, the AMD on-die memory controller makes that big a difference.)
Graphics: 5.9 (Phew, my 8800GTS can handle Aero, I was worried)
Gaming Graphics: 5.9
Primary Hard Drive: 5.7

Specs on both machines in sig. Both are running 64-bit Vista - Business on my laptop and Ultimate on my desktop.

 

reformatted with 163.44 drivers

4.7

Processor = 4.9
RAM = 4.8
Graphics = 4.7
Gaming Graphics = 5.3
Hard Drive = 4.9

what is the difference between graphics and gaming graphics

Awaiting For Turion X2 1.6Ghz Upgrade

 

The on-die memory controller has no improvement over the memory controllers for desktop core 2 duo's as far as windows Vista Experiance score is concerned. My PC scores 5.9 in every cattegory with my ram running at 700mhz all the way upto 1100mhz. So i really don't think the 5.9 score is even close to the max of what current high end PCs are doing

 

New Score, have 1.5GB ram instead of 1GB, hope to buy another 1GB stick soon.

Ram score went down but processor went up.

 

My score went up again!!! Cleaned out the fans, and look what good it do along with lowering cpu temperatures:

 

woah thats so strange... so u did a bit of cleaning and it made ur score go up by 0.2? Wtf!

 

cleaned fans = cooler = CPU can run faster
aint all that strange

 

Processor Now 4.6 After upgrade to TL-50 X2

 

Processor 5,3
Memory RAM 4,8
Graphics 5,9
Gaming Graphics 5,6
Primary Hard Disk 5,2

 

My Toshiba X205 gets the following:

Processor: 4.9
Memory (RAM): 5.1
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming graphics: 5.7
Primary hard disk: 5.5

Oh, I should note my X205 is not a stock config. I upgraded both harddrives to Hitachi 7K200 200GB drives, gutted the machine replaced all thermal grease with Arctic Silver 5. Running 163.44 drivers as well.

I've also got 4GB of RAM coming for it soon, too.

 

hmm seems everything improved a lot but limited by processor 4.9 - how can to improve that?

my stock x205-s9359 gets only
Processor: 4.9
Memory (RAM): 4.8
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming graphics: 5.5
Primary hard disk: 4.9

did u also change ram??

 

No, my RAM is stock. I ordered 4GB of RAM to upgrade with, but it's not arrived yet. Not sure why it's higher. Maybe it's a different batch/manufacturer of RAM? Dunno.

Also, there is no way to raise the CPU score short of upgrading the T7300 to a T7500 or T7700. While Intel did major price cuts on them both recently, it's really not that beneficial to make the upgrade. They don't offer a huge boost in performance.

 

Oh the cpu can be upgradeable in future?

My ram is reported as 2 x "1024MB DDR2-666 Samsung SDRAM" in ASTRA32...

Damn this graphics card on my laptop, all other laptops for the price i got this laptop all had GMA 950 so this was my only choice for the budget of about £520.

CPU - 4.7 (C2D T5500)
RAM - 4.5 (1.5GB - 1gb Kingston valueram ddr2-pc2-5300 667mhz, 512mb SiS module DDR2 - pc2-4200 667mhz..i think. edit - 3gb ram but values are still the same)
Graphics - 3.7 (Geforce Go 7400..)
Gaming graphics - 3.2 (edit 3.3, rechecked with new drivers installed, from stock drivers to latest xtremeG drivers)
Primary HD - 4.4 (100gb SATA 5,200 rpm)

i dont understand - how can aero graphics score lower than gaming graphics? Am i missing something here

 

After a bit of overclocking using ATI tools, my X1400 is a bit better, not much difference in the temperature of the GPU though... Any thoughts?

Inspiron E1505

Processor (C2D 7200 2.0 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 4MB L2) 4.9

here is my base score 3.5

Hmm graphic 4.7 is a bit low for a 8600M GT...
I've seen much higher for this card....
