How does your machine rate?

Unread post by Plastic Jesus »

What is your "windows experience" rating? I know the rating doesn't always give you the best idea of how your machine runs, but it's neat to know that Microsoft is judging you.

With the help of a new GrForce 9800 and a Phys card I am finally over 5.0 and sitting comfortably at a 5.4 due to my "disc data transfer rate" being a 5.4 while everything else is 5.9. Now, how to get up to a 6.0? How much money must I keep dumping into this monster until it can drive my car and bring me world peace?
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

I don't know I don't have vista, if I did it would probably be crappy.

5.9 is the max score that you can get in Vista, there is no 6.0. If you've seen one then it was shopped.

5.6 due to my geforce 8600gts. If I got a top line card I'd be at 5.9

antec 900 case
abit ip pro35 mobo
10,000 rpm raptor hd
3 gigs usable dual core ram
6600 quad intel cpu
8600 gts gpu 512 ram
vista home basic (wish I would've bought xp pro instead, but then I wouldn't have a score)
xblaster gamer sound card
This would be worth money if you had it in writing

I would love to tell you what I have on "my" new comp but I had to send it back for a few reasons

1 not all the ram was reconized
2 locking up constanly
And a few more plus that had vista

The one im on right now has XP and I have no idea what it has
