Intel Centrino Duo T2400 1.83GHz

2GB PC4200 533MHz Kingston

80GB Seagate Sata 1.5 5400rpm

Mobile Intel Graphics 945GM

Processor: 4.7

Memory (RAM): 5.4

Graphics: 3.1

Gaming graphics: 3.1

Primary hard disk: 4.5

But I have a question, the graphics score was 3.2, after I updated the qraphics driver from Intel support website, it became 3.1, why?

Reagrds,

I'll get back to you when the Windows Performance Index decides to work again because, since installing the latest Nvidia alpha beta (ForceWare Vista 101.41) drivers. it's simply stopped working.

Still, driverswise, things can only get better- right? :(

I did little testing with Vista. I disabled as many services as i could and set paging down to 200Mb. If you run Battlefield 2...the game will quit soon saying low system memory. Even though it fixes terrible paging which causes stuttering in the game, obviosly it's not enough memory. Even though system is equiped with 2GB + SLI 8800GTX the **** wont cut it. Vista has the worst memory management ever...total crap. Vista simply doesn't put any app or game on the priority list but only windows resources, and it just doesn't want to let memory go for primary app you're running. I guess if you're running 4GB you're set, because a large amount of memory will simply fix broken memory management "by design" in Vista. I'm not bitching...i simply point out the issues this OS has, and has major issues.

Processor 5.9 (QX 6700 Quad Core)

RAM 5.9 (G. Skill 4GB dual channel pc6400)

Hard Drive 5.9 (WD 150GB raptor)

Graphics 5.9 (Nvidia 8800GTS)

What I don't understand:

My system:

QX6700 @ 3GHz

RAM: 4GB crucial Ballistix @ 1200MHz T2

Raptors in RAID 0 / 1.2TB of Storage

8800GTX

But my RAM only gets a 5.6 even though it's 400MHz faster than the 800MHz your running :s and I have the same quantity.

I wonder how accurate this rating thing really is.

Mine is 5.3

The scoring stinks, You could have a top of the line video card and processor, but have an onboard sound card and you will have like a 4 rating.

Your score is = to the lowest rated component of your system wich is a very bad way of scoring.

How are you liking Vista?

Well I'm starting to like Vista more now. At first I was having problems with my video card drivers but after I installed the latest catalyst everything is working fine. Feels like a pretty XP with more security and some cool features. :D

I like Ready Boost, I have 2 GB RAM and even with that it feels that Ready Boost is doing something, little faster for some programs. What I hate is all the small windows asking about permission. :crazy: I still have to test some programs that I use on XP and see how they run in Vista but most of the programs use work fine.

Yep. IDIOTIC scoring scheme.

Heaven forbid they came up with.....let's say.....oh.....I don't know.....Maybe.....an AVERAGE score!

Exactly! (Y)

I think you've both completely missed the point here...

The idea is that you can find games and applications that will run on your system, which if we do it by averages doesn't work too well, i.e. if you have 4x 6 and 1x2 (your graphics card for example) and you want to run a game that requires a score of 5 (again because of its graphics requirements), if you average this you get 5.2 and therefore it is saying to the consumer that the game will run, when it so won't, by using the lowest subscore, the consumer will know the game/app won't run.

Specs as in sig. The C2D isn't at 2.40GHz, thats just the "name" it is given.

What the deuce ... I have the same CPU ... but my Vista gives 5.3 ...

Same amount of RAM ... and it gives me 5.5

I'm running Intel C2D E6600, ASUS P5B Deluxe, DDR2 2Gig(2x1G) PC6400 800Mhz Dual Channel Geil ... and Vista Ultimate 64-b.

If my CPU and RAM subscores were the same as rovman's ... my overall rating would be 5.7 too ...

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
