Im running a Sony Vaio VGN-N31S with vista HP for about 8 months now and about a week ago, i whipped out my recovery disks do do a fresh install of vista (as 2 many hackin can cause problems ;P)
well, my base score on this piece of crap was 3.2 or 3.7 for the lowest sub-score which was my graphics to run aero wen i got it, after the fresh install my base score dropped to 2.0 for the same sub-score, i havnt changed any hardware?

is there any reason 4 this and is there a way 2 get back my original score without the hack 2 fake ur score?

i do, and it still tells me 2.0 ... meh :(

I suggest you RUN this test from NVIDEA. That will tell you the real story. Forget the Vista rating. That means nothing.
