What is your Windows Experience Rating?

[xzKinGzxBuRnzx]

hmm i dont see why my Processor speed is so low??? Its the Q6600 Quad Core..

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.

I wonder if games will at some point start enforcing this? If so the XML trick might work ?

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

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

1 point away from me! Nice score though.

Next time I reinstall Vista it will be a full 5.9 (I hope )

You can go past 5.9 in Windows 7 so look out!

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.

 

[InsaneNutter]

Nice rating for graphics, I wonder if 7.9 is the new max rating In Windows 7?

 

[Guranga]

may I gatecrash this party? so close to full 5.9 ;_; I could just restart and pop the o/c up to 3.8ghz but I cba.

 

[InsaneNutter]

3.8ghz, is it actually stable at them speeds?

You Win on Hard Drive, KingBurnz wins on Processor atm were yet to have a full 5.9!

 

[cadaml]

, my only prob is anything passed 3.25gb of memory... goes to my video for some reason, cant quite figure that out.

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

 

[cadaml]

Ahh thx! No wonder, lol gotta get 64bit os ftw

 

[Nimrod]

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

From Windows 7 beta buid 7100 non overclocked. I'll overclock my PC some and test again later.

 

[InsaneNutter]

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.
