For the actual performance of a non-gamer, other factors are important, especially speed of the memory and FSB. This is the example of my fastest - which actually runs slower than the one with 3.0.</p> <p><img src='http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/whs37/HTG4/ix.png' /> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/whats-your-vista-score/page/2#post-25088 Sun, 18 May 2008 23:13:19 +0000 seanbean 25088@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>A modest (but respectable) 4.1 here.

No need to mess with images. Also, this lets everyone see how each part contributed to the total score. That could be useful when shopping for upgrades or a new system.</p> <p>If your Windows is Dutch, click "Details weergeven en afdrukken" :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/whats-your-vista-score/page/2#post-23303 Thu, 08 May 2008 01:10:21 +0000 jd2066 23303@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>My score is 5.8.<br /> Info:<br /> Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2.40GHz - 5.9<br /> Memory (RAM) - DDR-1066 4.00 GB - 5.8<br /> Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB RAM - 5.9<br /> Primary hard disk - 7200 RPM 500GB Hard Drive - 5.8<br /> OS - Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit</p> <p>I think my memory was 5.9 when I had 2GB of RAM so I think the test can be odd sometimes.<br /> Edit: For more info on my system see <a href='http://www.techoddity.com/about/my-hardware/'>http://www.techoddity.com/about/my-hardware/</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/whats-your-vista-score/page/2#post-23269 Wed, 07 May 2008 22:41:12 +0000 SarahJames 23269@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@CPjames: or get TNT ScreenCapture for free at <a href='http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/'>http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/</a> if you're fast - it's still available for 8 more hours </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/whats-your-vista-score#post-23256 Wed, 07 May 2008 20:56:39 +0000 xenomex 23256@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@CPjames,<br /> I take a screenshot of the window, then i crop the picture to what is needed, then i decrease the images size and host it,<br /> then i copy the code for the forum :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/whats-your-vista-score#post-23228 Wed, 07 May 2008 18:00:08 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 23228@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>cpu: intel p4 3.0ghz</p> <p>ram: 2gb pc5400</p> <p>mobo: intel d865glc</p> <p>vid card: geforce 8600 256gddr3</p> <p>HDD: 160gb (250gb external) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/whats-your-vista-score#post-23227 Wed, 07 May 2008 17:55:38 +0000 CPJames19 23227@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@xenomex How do u post a scnshot of ur index score? </p>
