Factor: 3.6


I've started a thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=99534 some time ago.

 

Yes I have. It's alright, but unless you have a specific need, it's probably not worth what MS will charge you when OpenOffice is free.

 

Unless you can get it free from MS's TAP program.

 

HP dv2000t - windows vista business

T2500 2.00ghz
1GB ram
geforce go 7200
100gb HD

Processor: 4.7
Memory: 4.5
Graphics: 3.4
Gaming Graphics: 2.7
Primary Hard Disk: 4.3
Overall: 2.7

Anyone know why the intel gma 950 is beating out my graphics? This seems absurd to me. I know the 7200 is pretty crappy, but ANY dedicated graphics should be beating the GMA 950 shouldn't it?

 

The highest possible rating you can get is 5.9 and lowest is 1. I believe anything lower than one won't be able to support Vista. The games that vista comes installed with can only be played with a level of 1 with Microsoft preferring a level 2 computer.

 

It's actually RC2 64-bit. MS had it up for only a day or two, and I happened to grab both 32 and 64 bit. It expires in July, but I'm going to keep it till then

What I really want now is a gaming benchmarker - 3DMark just doesn't run

Well, isn't that a sub-score? It seems as if the whole assessment is rigged, because no matter what happens, at least one of them is below 5.

And the help file says that 5 was the maximum when Vista was released *shrugs*

I was hoping for a higher score, but it was the same even when I upgraded the RAM (from 1 to 2) and HDD Speed from (7200 from 5400). Before the upgrade it was the HDD that got 4.5, now it's the RAM, lol.

 

Here, for reference, is my new desktop:



If I recall, my Inspiron 9300 recieved about a 4.5, also processor-capped, and my Compaq v2000z got a 3.0 - capped by the x200M, of course.

Anybody know how running the x86 vs. the x64 version affects the CPU score? Or does it? I seem to remember my Compaq also getting a 5 on CPU running the x64 RC1, and it had a single-core Turion64 (albeit at the same clock speed).

 

How can you guys get a score of 5, that seems impossible ??

 

Acer Aspire 5570
Core Duo T2050 1.60GHz
1GB (2x 512mb) DDR2 ram
Intel GMA 950, 32mb internal, 224mb shared
100GB, 5400rpm HD

Processor: 4.5
RAM: 4.5
Graphics: 3.1
Gaming Graphics: 3.1
Hard disk: 4.2
Base Score: 3.1

 

On the contrary, I'd say it seems like it shouldn't be too hard, even on a notebook. Admittedly, you'd probably need a 7200RPM HD, but other than that a Go7900GS, 2GB of DDR2-667, and a T7400 ought to do it - in other words, a well-under-$2000 Inspiron e1705 (provided you buy the RAM yourself, and use a coupon), which I'm sure someone here has.

Reaching 5 on a desktop is obviously even simpler - my system cost $1150 ($1350 if you include the LCD) and could probably reach 5.5 with a perfectly safe CPU overclock. Maxing out at 5.9 on everything may require a 10,000RPM HD, however.

Edit: Just went to Dell.com and configured an e1705 with a T7400, 100GB 7200RPM HD, 2GB of DDR2-667, GeForce Go7900GS, and some other random goodies (DVD burner, 9-cell battery, and Bluetooth) and with a coupon it comes to just about $2000 after tax (I live in Florida) with 1-year of at-home service. So there, it isn't all that hard to get a 5 - it'll cost less than two grand on a notebook, and that's only if you're stupid enough to buy DDR2-667 RAM from Dell (to say nothing of how stupid you have to be to live in Florida...)

 

Ratings I got on my Dell XPS m1210 with the following specs:

2.0Ghz C2D
7200RPM 80GB HD
1 GB 667mhz RAM
Nvidia 7400go

 

In my case, I'm memory capped

 

What is the Maximum Score that Can be obtained in an XPS M1210 with all the uprades included. is this able to go above 4

 

You can get scores as high as 6/7, at least thats the best Ive seen so far from the HP Media Centre demo boxes we use. Im sure its designed to be future proofed

 

I heard that it is only 5.9 is the Maximum Windows Experience Index Score.....This is the forst time i am hearing about 6/7 scores

 

Same. 5.9 is the highest ever score I have seen.

 

Hey guys, just got my dual booting Vista install working

Actually I haven't booted back into XP yet, been playing around in Vista.

Anyhow, took a screenshot of my WEI, it is 4.2 with some background tasks and driver software download going. So it may be slightly higher if I close everything first.

 

Here's mine - 4.7 on a slightly upgraded W3j.

I'm guessing the numbers will increase as new hardware comes out, getting larger. Future software might require higher Indexes.

 

"But that's not the weirdest tidbit about this feature. No, that accolade belongs instead to the range of scores which your system (and its various measured components) can obtain. Being a logical personal, you might assume that Microsoft would rate these things on a scale from 1 to 10, or perhaps 1 to 5. That would make a lot of sense. But instead, the highest possible score is 5.9. That's right, the scale goes from 1 to 5.9. You just can't make this stuff up. (To be fair, however, the score is open-ended to support new hardware advances as they happen.)"

I dont' have a graphics prog installed to copy the screen, but my base score is 4.5.
processor: 4.9
memory 4.5
graphics 4.6
gaming graphics: 4.7
primary hd: 5.0

My system.
hp dv9000t
2 gig ram
t7200
nvidia 7600 go 256 meg*
100 gig 7200 rpm sata hd

*Couldn't find graphics driver for vista, so installed 7600LE driver. Vista is showing 256 meg dedicated and 271 shared.

 

Windows Experience Score for Asus W3J is 4.7

The specs for my system are in my sig

 

^^^ Interesting that your 7400rpm hd makes a .4 difference in the Hard Drive score, but we both got a 4.7 for calcs/sec even though I have the 2Ghz....

 

Anyone have a Asus z96j? I want to know what someone with similar specs got as a score.

 

Yeah, I would like to know also. My z96j is the same as BPHusker's except for my T2400.

On a side note, I noticed that the core 2 duo's were getting better scores but does it make a difference if you're running 32 or 64 bit vista? Say I was to upgrade my processor but keep using 32bit vista, would the score go higher?

 

Windows Experience score is 4.5, anyone run 3dmark06 on vista yet? my score is 2694 down From 3147 with win XP.

Processor 4.9
Memory 4.5
Graphics 5.9
Gaming graphics 5.5
Hard disk 5.5

 

My score with Vista Ultimate 64bit is 4.5. First time I ever ran it it was 4.6. Not sure what caused it to change though lol.

CPU 4.9
Mem 4.5
GPU 4.8
Gaming Graphics 4.7
HD 4.9

I currently have a DV9000 2ghz core 2 duo, 2gigs of ram, 7600go 512meg vid card, 100gig 7200rpm sata hd.

 

AMD 4200+, 2gb of ram, 2 Sata2 hdds in raid (stripping mode) and a 7600gtx

 

4.0 on my T60. How good is this score?

 

Here's mine. Looks like my laptop's Pentium M is the weakest link.

 

my friend got 1 on his vaio tx

 

My score was a 3.2 .

But after I upgraded to the ATI radeon Xpress 1100 driver made for Vista, it now gives me a lower score of 2.6. Weird.

My aero is still working with no problem.

Has this happen to anyone else?

 

The score is determined by the weekest link. I guess the driver affected something else. Or were you talking about the graphics score?

 

Base Score: 4.7

Processor: 4.7
Memory: 4.8
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming: 5.6
Hard Drive: 5.0

check my sig for specs. I plan to OC'd my GFX and see if I can get any higher.

 

My x600 score dropped dramatically after upgrading to the newest ati driver. Weird.

 

I get 4.0. Not bad for an older generation notebook.
All drivers are from Vista or Vista update.

Update: thumbnail added.

 

I installed the beta 2 version of ultimate.
I havent went out and looked for specific drivers. Im using whatever windows used on the initial install. Everything seems to work fine.


Here are my scores...

Processor (2.16 C2D) 4.9
Memory (2G 667 from dell) 4.6
Graphics (7900 GS 256) 5.9
Gaming Graphics (527 avail) 5.7
Primary HD (100g 7200rpm) 5.1


Overall 4.6

Anyone think my score for my memory is low? kinda makes me mad that my HD out-performs my memory.

 

T7200, 2GB of RAM, Go7400. The paltry 64MB of dedicated video memory really seems to hurt the Go7400's performance.

 

HP dv9230us (Circuit City)

not bad for vista capable! wonder what my p10-ee1 would have got

 

Your ram is 0.1 faster than mine but your cpu score is way lower than what i got and you have a 2.16 instead of 2gig core2duo.WEIRD!

Processor (2.00 C2D) 5.2
Memory (2G 667) 4.5
Graphics (7900 GS 256) 5.9

{EDIT}!WTF! My cpu score seems to be way faster then all other 2ghz core2duo in here scores 4.9 and mine scores 5.2! LOL toshiba POWA

 

My Vista Score - Sony FE-890

Processor(Core 2 1.66) - 4.7
Ram(1gb 667mhz 2x512) - 4.5
Graphics (128 Nvidia 7600) - 4.5
Gaming Graphics (7600) - 4.4
Hard Dive(60gb 5400rpm) - 4.3

I tried to match all the components to the power of the Nvidia Go7600 (best card for FE) and save money but i'm going to have to upgrade the hard drive. Does anybody have a suggestion for an 80-100gb 7200rpm hard drive?

 

Toshiba A135-S2276 with Intel T2060, 2Megs RAM , ATI Xpress 200M

My Vista Windows Experience Index scores seem to be lower than other A135-S2276 & Xpress 200M based notebooks. What's going with graphics score of 2.3?

My base score: 2.3

Proc: 4.5
RAM: 4.2
Graphics: 2.3
Gaming Graphics: 3.0
Primary Hard Disk: 4.1

 

Hey i know no1 has used this thread for a while but i thought i'd attach my score and ask a question whilst im at it...why does it say i haev 1019mb total availabe memory for graphics and also 763 shared memory towards it? (When i know its 256mb card)...it wont actually be using it i take it? (im guessing that vista is making some form of 'typo' error?)

 

Don't worry about it, I get something similar too. What its saying it will use upto an additional 763mb from your RAM if requred as a substitute for video memory (hypermemory). Its not as fast as dedicated but it will seldom use additional memory since most games can't utilise above 256mb unless you're running games at very high resolutions.

You have 256mb dedicated + 763mb shared = 1019mb total possible video memory.
