I reinstalled Vista, and this is my current rating. My graphics ratings were a lot higher before. I have an "EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GT - Superclocked Edition -" graphics card, but maybe I need to use the CD to install the drivers again? I did try that, but it told me there was no hardware on the computer that was compatible for the drivers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: and i have no experience with building computers, graphics cards, drivers, or any of that stuff.
OK, the fact you have a 1.0 showing means you have no specific graphics driver installed. Go here
Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers
Put details of your card and OS in and then download the driver that is offered. When you re-boot at the end of the installation, select the right screen resolution that matches the native resolution of your LCD screen. If you are not sure how to do that, post back here with your monitor name and model

Yes, I'm unsure of how to do that Can I get some tips?

I have installed the download from the website, and the computer rebooted. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 2253 BW monitor. What's next!

I see you have your video driver installed and upped your WEI. Your monitor has a native resolution of 1680 x 1024 pixels. That means it likes to run at that for clear viewing type and speed. All LCD's run at 60 Hz frequency. If you right click your desktop in an empty space and then select PERSONALIZE and then click on DISPLAY SETTINGS, see what you currently have under Resolution. You can move the slider bar to get 1680 x 1024 and keep the colors at Highest 32 Bit. If you don't like what you see you can revert back, the high resolution makes icons and print small.

Here's mine.... Laptop is 1 week old.

I am suprised that my Aero Graphics got a lower score than the gaming graphics, even when gaming is more intensive.

I can't really complain about my scores, as I got this computer for $800.00

Re: Window Experience Index Scores

Hi,

You get a high score for your memory calculations per second - do you have 2 x1gb modules in dual channel mode ? I've also got 2gb kingston value ram 667mhz ( in one DIMM slot ) and get 4.9. My processor is the E8400 @ 3ghz.

Thanks

Just with the hardware in my sig. With the processor/RAM being overclocked a bit, that pushed the score up from 5.1.

And that 5.6 for hard disk isn't in RAID either, I have the disks in JBOD, as they didn't seem to like RAID 0, so that 5.6 is just for 1 hard drive.

And Athlon x2 processors seem to get quite low scores for what they are, but all the Phenoms I've seen are getting 5.9, so think I will upgrade to one with some new RAM towards the end of the year.

See the ones with 5.9 nearly all have DDR3 RAM and up to 1600 MHz. You are half that speed and DDR2
