Mpilk901 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ok, here's what to do. Go to the control panel and click on Performance Information and Tools. Take the test and see what your computer comes up with. (this only applies to Vista users I believe) What do the base score numbers mean?1 to 2: A computer with a base score of 1 or 2 usually has sufficient performance to do most general computing tasks, such as run office productivity applications and search the Internet. However, a computer with this base score is generally not powerful enough to run Windows Aero, or the advanced multimedia experiences that are available with Windows Vista. 3: A computer with a base score of 3 is able to run Windows Aero and many new features of Windows Vista at a basic level. Some of the new Windows Vista advanced features might not have all of their functionality available. For example, a machine with a base score of 3 can display the Windows Vista theme at a resolution of 1280 × 1024, but might struggle to run the theme on multiple monitors. 4 to 5: A computer with a base score of 4 or 5 is able to run all new features of Windows Vista with full functionality, and it is able to support high-end, graphics-intensive experiences, such as multiplayer and 3‑D gaming and recording and playback of HDTV content. Computers with a base score of 5 were the highest performing computers available when Windows Vista was released. My Base Score was 5.0 (based on lowest subscore) Subscores: My Processor was 5.1 My Ram was 5.0 (3GB of Ram) My Graphics was 5.9 (NVIDIA 8600GT) My Gaming Graphics was 5.4 My Primary Hard Disk was 5.0 This is just for fun and for people to show off their computers . I'm very pleased with my results seeing as my processor and graphics exceed the highest mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Well, I don't have Vista, but let me estimate what mine would be: Processor 1.7 (AMD Athlon 64 2800+) RAM 0.2 (512MB DDR 400) Graphics -349.8 (64 MB Onboard Shit) Gaming Graphics -(Sorry, the number won't fit on the page) Primary Hard Disk 0.5 (80GB ATA100 Shit) Edited March 9, 2009 by raybob95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustADummy Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 What a useless post, if you don't have Vista why do you even bother posting? My base score is 5.1, I will post secondary details soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiderFan Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The vast majority of Windows users prefer not to use Vista in favor of XP. It goes on the old principle of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes on the old principle of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Someone obviously doesn't have a computer which can run it well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustADummy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, don't go and say it sucks because if you got a pretty decent PC you can run it flawlessly like me and Mpilk at least. Windows Vista Scores and subscores: Base: 5.1 Subscores: Processor: 5.9 Memory: 5.4 Graphics (Aero Performance): 5.1 Graphics (Gaming): 5.2 Hard Drive Performance: 5.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
