I don't really know how Microsoft calculates the rating, but I do know that memory and graphics increase it more than processing power.

Anyway, on my PC I have 3.3

On my new laptop - I have 4.0

What is it out of? 5 or 10?
 
Mine says 5.6. It went up after me overclocked the processor by 1ghz and the gpu by 200mhz...
 
Previous thread .. not true :p Don't really know dude. I think the more you manouver around in 'doze the higher it gets.
 
If im not wrong the highest possible (at the moment) is 5.9, and the score is basically according to your lowest component so mine is 3.8 because i have onboard graphics which are apparently not very good for gaming
 
important to note: the score isnt x out of y

it is just "x"..there is no upper limit, no "y" and never will be.

in 5 years now, we may be scoring a 17.3

that is how the system works. the score is always taken as a global, based on the lowest/slowest item you have.

i.e. q6600, 4gb ram, raptor 150, quad sli, use standard windows vga driver, score will be 1.0
 
My rating is 5.7. My cpu and harddrive holds me back. My ram and gpu get 5.9.
 
4.6 not bad for an old Prescot :)

Prescott 3.0, 1.5Gb RAM (had 2Gb but a module went faulty) 7600 AGP

4.7 as well, 7600GS is my bottle neck, but purrfectly fine for an office PC.

C2D E6600, 2GB Kingston, Asus P5B Deluxe, 7600GS
 
If you lot look it up online, the Vista rating thing has been proven to be inaccurate, some reporting to get a lower rating even after upgrading the hardware...
