Your Windows Experience Index rating!

Thats my new computer. I hoped to get a 5.9, but unluckily I got 5.5. The RAM is holding me back. I got 8GB RAM, but apparently the chip specifications weren't enough.

This happened to me. You need to run them in the closest ratio with your CPU frequency or tighten the timings.

For instance, my 8GB OCZ Ram gives 5.8 @ the recommended config. (4-4-4-15/2T-2.0v). I got 5.9 by using 4-4-4-12/2T-2.1v.

Also back when I was overclocking my CPU, the DRAM was 1:1 with the CPU Freq. (400). It gave 5.9 @ low timings (5-5-5-15/18).

cpu is 3.8(athlon 64 3000+) memory is 3.4(it was 4.6 with 2GB ddr1 but after going to 3GB it went down) graphics is 5.9(geforce 8600GT 256MB and gaming graphics is 5.6 and the hdd is 5.5(1st hdd is 200GB sata 1 and 2nd hdd is an 80GB pata)

Do these numbers really have any relevance to how Windows performs? I'm running my desktop at fair high res and I'm running Aero. It rates the card as a 1.0 (its the only 3650 AGP card and its not an ATI official release). I'm playing most modern games on it.

that rating is messed up, 3650 should get much higher than that.

Can I change the timings without buying new RAM chips?! If so how?!

I just built a new computer about 3 weeks ago, after some problems, it's been great now. I wasn't going for a 5.9 specifically but I was pretty excited when I saw it.

I kind of want to get another HD4870 though, or replace my HD4870 with a 4870x2 to see if I can't play Crysis on maximum... It runs very good on High/Very High now but I want to see better.

Pretty sure Vista is giving your ATI 3650 a "1.0" because you dont have the drivers installed correctly. Get the latest ATI drivers from http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

After successful install of the drivers, do "update my score" in Windows Experience Index.

5.9s all round :). I wish Microsoft would update the indexing system so that I can find out what my score really is. I know it's 5.9 or above, but I want to know how far above!

Also, my hard disk is partitioned wrong, hence the funky hard disk size of 436GB, it's actually a half-terabyte drive, but I've got some unallocated space.

Some minor changes since last year, so I thought I'd post again, still 5.9 though.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
