How will Vista rate your PC?

Since many of you either have the beta, or are planning to get it, or the RTM, this may be a bit interesting.

Heres mine: (w/ the video memory set to 64, not 128)

It must not be an average then or its buggy because when you average all my ratings you get 3.12? Not too sure where the 2 comes from.

 

Ratings are placed on weight. When you average mine, I don't get 3 either. Certain things like Processor type, 64 Bits, Video card type, and the like are weighted higher than say, Video Memory, and Processor Speed.







Mine.

 

Thats interesting.



my CPU is rated at .2 higher then your Athlon 64 3000, and its only a AMD turion 64 mt-28 running at 1.6Ghz..

 

Probably because your is a different socket than mine. a S939 will rate better than a S754 (Mine)

 

(I have to type something bla bla)

 

I have 64 bit processor and Vista x64 and my computer is rated 2.8

 

if microsoft were logical in working out a performance average, then my over all should be about 2.9, but i am running at 1.0!



However all of my hardware in my laptop are above the 3.5 mark accept the graphics chip!



wierd.

Hmmmmmm.....my "score" was 3 on a regular (7200rpm) WD SATA drive, but last night I reinstalled RC-1 onto one of my Raptor drives (10,000rpm)....no other changes....the score went up to a 4.

Frankly, I don't put much stock in their performance testing....I'm seeing weird scores all over the net lately.

 

My Memory score with 1.5 gigs was 4.6, added another 512 to make it an even 2 gigs and I go down to 2.8? That makes no sense. Its not different ram or anything, all 3200 DDR.

 

If you read what it says under your overall rating you'll see that this is limited by your lowest score, i.e. MS are of the opinion that your weakest component will bring the rest of your system down (probably quite right too). As for bpoppa69's score dropping by adding another 512 MB into the equation, are you aware that some motherboards actually have to drop the speed that they access the RAM at to maintain stability with more sticks present in the system?

 

Ya I read up on my board and it has major problems when you fill up every slot for RAM on it. Freezing problems and lower speed. Sucks

 

recently got

Pentium D 945 3.4
1gb PC667 Apacer
Intel Board d965ry
256ddr3 128bit 7300gt

vista rc1 gave me a rating of 4.5
though i feel that sometimes my pc is not coping up with vista.
memory utilization is constant at 60%...

 

Ive had my comp a while now (since january) and i got a better score in Beta 2 for memory and CPU but hey ho, I suppose its getting old :hehe:

 

Going to upgrade HDDs to SATA/300. Should bump this up a bit. 4GB useless on Vista as only 2.8GB available in 32-bit version (same on XP SP2). Other than that runs decent. Few little glitches to be expected of new OS.

eVGA 680i w/Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz, 4GB RAM, eVGA nVidia 7900GS, 2x160GB SATA/150 HDDs, X-Fi Audio, 16x HP DVD/RW, Antec TruPower Trio 550
