    Try overclocking it, you wouldn't need much. As the Q6600 is crazy fast. Its stocks at 2.4. Try 3.0, It should get to that easily. Depending on your motherboard you could push it to 3.6. Its its a crazy motherboard. You could get more than 3.6. Just remember the higher you push it. The better the cooling it will need. So make sure you have a good cooling unit.

    Microsoft haven’t updated the windows experience rating system in two years though so I don’t think any changes are going to happen anytime soon.

    Its possible but I wouldn’t put any money on it.

    I'm new here so be nice :D

    The score would be sitting @ 5.9 all through if I had of loaded the SATA drivers when I installed Vista.

    Here is my Windows 7 rating! I don't like how some things went down. My guess it was cause I had no drivers installed.

    You have a 32bit version of Windows installed, you need to run 64bit Windows to make full use of your ram.

    Nice pc though ;), any Windows 7 users here? I think the max went up to 7.9 in Windows 7

    I could overclock my processor to 3ghz dual from 2.4ghz easily but I havent felt the need yet. Nothing has demanded it yet but its always an option :)

    That’s a score there king, would love to see it when overclocked!

    I plan to install the Win 7 RC on my main pc too at some point, it’s working perfectly on the net book.
