What's your Vista Windows Experience Index score?

Just over a week and a half ago I installed Windows Vista Ultimate RC1 on the newest of my desktop machines. Overall it's been a pleasurable experience, unlike some of the other DotNetNuke core team members have had!

So far Vista has worked out well with me for VS 2005, I even got a release out for DnnCart.com last week that was completely written on this VISTA box. 

I did realize a few things though. I NEEDED to get more RAM. Trying to run Photoshop and VIsual Studio 2k5, as well as a few RDP windows was very taxing on the box. The machine is a Dell, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz dual core, RADEON X300/X550 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM), 149gig SATA drive. It had 768mb of RAM on it (a mix of 3200 and 4200. With those stats my Windows Experience Index has a base score of 2.0. The limiting number being the Graphics card.

Here's a shot of my score

 

This evening I installed 2 gigs of DDR2 4200 RAM, and so far it is flying! Hopefully tomorrow I'll be installing a nVidia GeForce 7900GS 256MB PCI-E x16 Video Card that I got off of www.Woot.com a few weeks back, this weekend I also ordered a Seagate 250GB SATA Hard Drive refurb off of woot. I've gotta pick up a DVI to VGA converter tomorrow so I can use the car, my 19" VGA just won't fit into the DVI plug! I ordered two off Tiger Direct last week, but of course I ordered the wrong ones. I figure once I install this new card my score should go up quite a bit! We'll see how it goes.

After I get the score up I'll have to look into getting another monitor up here as well, I'm itching to try my hand in a dual screen setup, though two 19" CRTs will sure take up a lot of deskspace!

  • hi guys here the score for my pc

    i was a bit confused about the score for my cpu as i have found the 3.4gig ht chip has been scoring 5.6 which is a bit on a jump.

  • Processor: Core2Duo 6400 - 5.1
    Memory: 2GB Ballistix - 5.6
    Graphics: GeForce 8800 GTS - 5.9
    Gaming Graphics: Same - 5.9
    Hard Disk: Seagate 7200.10 - 5.8

  • Processor: Core2Duo E6600 running at 2.79 GHz - 5.6
    RAM: 2GB - 5.9
    Graphics: 7600 GT - 5.9
    Gaming Graphics: - 5.3
    Primary HD: 37GB Raptor - 5.5

    Not sure why gaming graphics is so low. Also I thought the raptor are the faster sata drivers out there, but it only scores 5.5

  • Processor Core 2 Duo E6600 @ Stock-5.2
    Generic DDR PC 3200 - 4.9
    Seagate 7200 RPM 150gb SATA - 5.5

    So, 4.7 is lowest.

  • Wanted to compare CPUs so went down to the local Best Buy and looked at the machines they had on display:

    Intel Core 2 DUO E4300 - 4.8
    Intel Pentium D 915 - 4.7
    Intel Pentium D 820 - 4.7

    (machine spec said 5000+ but properties said 5200+)
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ - 4.9

    Most of the systems had a 3.0 rating due to low ratings for gaming of the integrated graphics

    Why do i have such a low AERO score and MEMORY SCORE
    AND YES THAT IS MY TIMING ON DDR2. MEMORY SUPPORTS 800MHZ BUT MOTHER BOARD ONLY AT 533, THATS OK BECAUSE FSB IS AT 266

  • I also get 5.2 in score for a stock E6600 at 2.4 ghz.
    I have seen several in this thread that has an E6400 at stock 2.13ghz getting 5.3 how is this possible.
    What kind of crap is this E6600, logically it should be faster when comparing stock speeds.
    All I can think of is the OS I have the 64-bit Vista?

    So, the chips is the weakest link. It is the budget Core 2 Duo though. Once I've replaced the stock fan I'll try some more serious overclocking and see if I can improve the score. Should be able to get the FSB up to 333 at least - maybe even 400 (RAM and temp permitting), giving me 2.8GHz. Advice - get the E6420 - it has higher multipliers making OC easier.

  • to Nicolas
    your vga score was wrong so much
    did you go to nVidia site to update new driver.
    i thought they had a new driver for you.
    i use radeon 9550 that's lower you but i got Aero scores over you(5.9) and 3.6 for gaming.
    so you should go to nVidia.com before to get new driver.

    Score was only 2,4 with the orginial video card from Acer : ATI X1300 LE with 64MB of video RAM and 512MB of Turbo cache Memory

    So upgrading the video card was really useful.

    Silly that vista wont give you a higher score than 5.9 as a score of 6.0 isnt yet available as vista has not defined it yet. So if you have a score of 5.9 for anything its likely it could be higher.

  • 5.9 in everything of course. Not too hard nowadays to do that if you know how to build your own system. Minus monitor may be able to do it for $1200 or less.

  • You could get 5.9 on everything for under $600, assuming you build it yourself.

  • Kirk, 5.9 for a hdd is a pretty much average, the highest I've seen is 7.9.

  • just got an asus g51 and its really awesome. It was $900 and everything is 5.9 except for graphics which is a 5.8 and its processor(the main limiting factor) which was a 5.0(2.0ghz)but I overclocked it to a 5.2(2.3ghz) no problem

  • This is on win 7 64-bit

    C2D 6750 2.66Ghz 4M = 6.2
    Std 800Mhz@667Mhz 2x2GB = 6.2
    Aero + Game3D Ati 4870 = 6.5 (on both)
    Corsair P64 SSD = 7.2

    So its very possible to get higher hdd result, you just need a better hdd :)

    Yeah, sorry Windows, I have two drives but one's mirroring the other in case one has a mechanical failure. Give me the money for a SSD and you can bump my overall score (which is 5.9, since the overall score is just the lowest score in the list... dumb) up in to the 7s.

    It'll be interesting to see what it bumps up to when I overclock the processor and the memory...
