clay904ton: Vista RAM rating only test RAM speed, not how big it is.

Processor: 5.9 (Core2quad Q6600 64 bit overclocked to 3.2ghz)

Memory: 5.9

Graphics: 5.9 Nvidia 8800GT OC

Game Graphics: 5.9

Hard Disk: 5.9

I was hoping to break the 6.0 mark. So much for that. I'm going to have to wait..

I'm currently running the Alienware Aurora systems with a subscore of 5.5. And my sub-scores are as follows:

Processor - 5.5 - (AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+)

Memory(RAM) - 5.9

Graphics - 5.9 - (NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT)

Gaming graphics - 5.9

Primary hard disk - 5.9

One thing though, I only have 2GB of RAM and my score is 5.9, but my girlfriend just bought the HP s3720y in which she has 4GB of RAM and her score is only 4.6.

What's the issue?

and a nvidia 9400gt video card

I don't know alot about video cards, but I was wondering why your 7600gt rates better than mine?

I bought a Dell 530 in May, 2008 with Vista 32 bit (pre SP1)

Here are the scores.

Processor 5.9 (Q6600 quad 2.4Ghz)

Memory 5.5 (3G of DDR2 800 Mhz)

Graphics 3.9 (using onboard)

Gaming Graphics 3.3 (onboard)

Primary Hard Disk 5.7 (500 G Samsung 501LJ).

Including shipping and sales tax, the system was $688 including some extras.

I upgraded my memory to 4G (Kingston 1.8V, DDR2, 800Mhz, CL 5) (cost about $59 from on-line retailer)

I installed a MSI 8600GT twin turbo video card(core running at 600 MHz and memory at 1600 MHz factory set)

I also upgraded to power supply to 385 W and put the system in an Antec 900 case.

new scores with Vista 32 bit SP1 also installed:

Processor 5.9 (Q6600 quad 2.4Ghz)

Memory 5.6 (4G of DDR2 800 Mhz, 1.8V, CL5)

Graphics 5.9

Gaming Graphics 5.6

Primary Hard Disk 5.7 (500 G Samsung 501LJ).

Well from reading several reviews it turns out it dosen't really matter if your linked and synched, Just that you need 2 gigs of 667,or 800 with a 1333fsb processor from intel and any Athlon x2 will give you a 5.9 memory score because of there hypertransport. If i would of known this earlier i would of got a processor with a fsb of 1333mhz. Anyways A Core 2 duo 4000 series will give you a max memory score of 5.0 It will be a 4.8 without a good graphics card or service pack 1. The 6000 series will give you a max of 5.5 and of course the 6x50,and the 8000 series will give you a 5.9 And if your linked and synched that will just make it a lil faster but it's not required for a 5.9 memory score. Heres my current rig after lots of upgrading and i finally plan to add a E8400 So i can have a processor score of 5.7 and the rest 5.9's well besides my hard drive. Current rig

Processor- E4600 5.3

Memory- 4 gigs of ddr800 5.0

Geforce 9600GT 5.9 aero and graphics

Hard drive 160GB 5.6

Plan on getting the E8400 soon which will bump my score up from a 5.0 to a 5.6

I've come across this website through GOOGLE(ing) highest windows experience index score..

and I'd like to share my system info....

case: aerocool m40 (matx/cube case)

cpu: core 2 duo e8400 3.0ghz

ram: 6gb (running 3gb on 32bit vista) will update to 64-bit soon

video: 9800gtx 512mb

storage: 200gb seagate

overall score: 5.4 (because of low hard disk)

cpu = 5.6

ram = 5.9

graphics = 5.9

hard disk = 5.4

maybe if i upgrade the hard drive to sata and a higher size, maybe 500gb or 1tb and get a quad core it will be all 5.9 or higher if possible.
