These benchmark tools are far more useful for gauging the capabilities of your system. The PCMark score is a more thorough test of CPU, memory, disk, and graphics performance. This will show how well your system is for everyday tasks such as browsing, e-mail, and office suites. 3DMark06 is a gamer's benchmark which tests the CPU and graphics adapter doing 3D rendering, pixel shading, physics calculation and other game-related tasks. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36372 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:49:12 +0000 Lighthouse 36372@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I know what you mean jack.

When mine didn't work, I didn't waste time on trying to fix it. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36283 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:37:36 +0000 whs 36283@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>jack, the score number does not mean very much. The details are a little bit more telling, but it all depends on what you are running. If you run a lot of games, you do not want a low graphics score (but you know that anyhow by looking at your graphics card). But if you do not play games, you probably can care less. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36280 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:29:52 +0000 Lighthouse 36280@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jack. I had a similar thing a few weeks ago. It did give me a number (the base number it always gives me after a re-install). But no way could I get it to run "Update my score". I tried again this morning, and it worked fine. Go figure! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36245 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 02:31:55 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36245@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i can't get the score thing to give me an out put number i run and then it does nothing so then what do i have to do to get it to give me a number? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36222 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:03:59 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36222@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ok thanks i will try it out then post back what i get :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36221 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:00:55 +0000 Lighthouse 36221@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Control Panel &gt; System </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36220 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:58:01 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36220@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>but i do have a new question now how do i see my vista score? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36219 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:55:09 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36219@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ok never mind i figured it out i just had to think a bit first </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/short-cuts#post-36218 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:51:29 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 36218@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i just got a new laptop with vista installed on it and trying to get it setup the way that i want but i can't really figure out how to put a shortcut to my computer on the desktop </p>
