Ok, so the last PC I had.... pretty much identical to Cakedaddy's, had a performance score of 4.2, with 5.9 being the current max. Vista does a performance test of your CPU, RAM, 3d video, regular video, and hard drive read/write. It gives your overall score as the lowest score of the above... not an average.

In my old system the CPU was the bottleneck, with the 4.2. My other scores I forget, precisely, but the max was not above 5.2, if I recall correctly.

So this new system I built, with components listed in this thread, everything is maxed at 5.9 except for my RAM, which yes, I've had problems with, which is rated at 5.4.

So.

What up with that.

I guess this thread might be more useful with pics.

Eh.

Manufacturer's support forums are telling me I'm not alone.

Anything Vista says is automatically of dubious veracity.

Not sure what your question is. Are you asking why your system is being rated as better than your old even though you are running Vista? Or are you asking how you could be rated at the max, even though there are more expensive and better stuff out there that should be rated higher, but can't cause 5.9 is the max?

Vista sucks.
