windows experience index 5.2?

[SHΛRPSH??TZER]

Sup people. I just built a comp and put vista on it. under my comp specs it has a rating wich it calls windows experience index. it rates a number of diff aspects of ur comp and gives u a score fore each. the score is from 1.0 to 5.9. the lowest number is ur rating. Im curious to compare my comp to others and was wondering if you guys would post ur score to share and compare.
heres my info:

processor: 5.8
RAM: 5.2
Graphics 5.9
Gaming Graphics 5.9
PrimaryHardDisk 5.9

It looks pretty sweet to me but id like to compare it. THNX

Are you using Vista ? If you are take that Creative SB card out of your computer and use the Onboard realtek sound... it will actually work..

I had to DriverCleanerPro, un-enable sound device, reinstall and enable my audigy and then x-fi all the time with vista.... Creative Soundblaster cards are just terrible.. and they slapped down the guy that was actually producing decent vista drivers for them with a lawsuit..

[SHΛRPSH??TZER]

why would my ram only be 5.2? I have 8gigz of ddr2 Gskill ram. should be 5.9 right?

 

[Hellblazer]

5.9 is pretty easy to get, I got it with a Q6600, 3GB of Mushkin low-latency RAM, an 8800GTS 640MB and a WD 640GB high-density drive.

I challenge you to get a 6. Yes, it goes up to 6

Speaking of Windows Vista...
Is it worth upgrading from XP yet? I'm still undecided. I think it looks nice, but if I'm going to be having all kinds of compatibility issues, I'll stick with my XP.
