I know there was this thread a while ago http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=96990 but I was hoping to revive it a year on. Whats your score? My overall 5.9 so I'm quite impressed! Not gloating Machine specs in sig...Gonna benchmark it soon, so more specifics then.

The rating score is not an overall score but the lowest of the various subscores. It is therefore not a meaningful score to compare different machines. Rather post the various component subscores.

if his overall is 5.9, and the score is taken from the lowest subscore, then it stands to reason the lowest subscore is 5.9

and seeing as currently 5.9 is also the HIGHEST score vista will show, it stands to reason all the subscores are 5.9.

can there be anything more logical?

however, if the score is less than 5.9 then a breakdown would be convenient.

Yeah thats true, "overall" not the right word. Either way my base score was 5.9 and thats the highest at this stage as per MS, so none of my subscores will be below 5.9. Will post it anyway once I get back home.

Exactly. Sorry, my previous post delayed...but exactly my point in different words...

Yip sorry the detail is only required if the base score is less than 5.9. I forgot that that was the maximum score one can get
