My Vista machine scores only 4.7 for the Experience Index even though it is
extremely powerful with dual Xeons due to the latency of the FB-DIMMS. The
memory score is 4.7 whereas all other scores are 5.9. I don't really
understand why Vista simply uses the lowest the score to determine to
overall index as 4.7 is not indicative of this machine's overall
capabilities. Surely some kind of weighted average would be more
representative.
