windows experience index 5.2?

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.


Post your specs..

If all your stuff is newer, than a fresh whipe and a fresh install of vista will leave you with your jaw dropped.... with sp1 out now vista is sooooo much better than xp it's not even funny...
 
might as well wait for the new Windows 7 since it'll be out sometime next year (along w/ DX11, just skip 10)

the only prob i have is with the creative card and thats creatives fault. everything else is amazing.
5.9 here too. Is 6 even possible?
not according to microsoft.
i thnk my ram gets a 5.2 because i first only installed the 4 gigs. would it not update it though? it saise 8190mb of ram in specks. this seems od that u guys have a 5.9 for ram when i have better ram at 5.2
 
Its based on the performance of the component not necessarily how much of something it has. For instance you can have a 500GB SATA 2 7200rpm hard drive but score higher w/ a 150GB SATA 10,000 RPM raptor. Same for memory, you can have 2GB of DDR3 1600 and beat 8GB of DDR2 667.
 
well i thought the gskill ddr2 was good ram. in sharkies forums they told me it was good stuff. and ya i have a rapor 150 and seagate 750. one for performace one for storage. still think my ram is good though. i did overkill it though with 8gigs since i dot use it as a server.
 
Well I have 4gigs of G.Skill memory... it runs @ DDR2 1000mhz w/ 5-4-4-15 and I scored 5.9.

You must be using 800mhz or lower then?

He is probably running pc6400 @ 800mhz

My reapers run at 1066 with 4gb's and i get a 5.9

....

Maybe run memtest on your modules.... See how that fairs ?
 
does windows have memtest or do i need to download it? and ya it is 2Gx4|GSK F2-6400CL4D 800mhz. even in game with high res skins it never goes over 20% ram usige so i guess it doesnt matter but i dont like it being a 5.2 lol. just a crazy guy who built something and likes it to say you win! its a great machine!
How do you get 6?

thanks for the info. i had to go in the garage to check the boxes and i couldnt believe i bought 800mhz. mustv been some reason though because i spent 2 weeks on sharkies going over my partslists with everyone. i think there something about the timing though or the clock? im new at building comps but this machine is awesome.
 
where do I get 6?

5.9 - Highest Vista Score, yes?

6 - Im not running Vista, Im running XP, so its a 6

7 - Just a lucky number
