Windows 7 What is your Windows 7 performance index score?

[crazy_cjenkins]

Just curious to what everyone's "Windows experience index base score"s are and what kind of hardware scores what.
Post your hardware details along with your scores.

Mine scores a 5.0
AMD Athlon X2 4400 2.3 - 5.0
5 gigs (2x2GB + 2x512GB) of Generic DDR2 800 - 6.1
ASUS GeForce 8600GT 512mb - 6.7 Gaming - 5.5
1TB Hitachi 3.0GB/s SATA2 HD - 5.9

Base Score = 5.5

ProcessorIntel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz = 6.4
Memory (RAM)3.00 GB = 5.5
GraphicsATI Radeon HD 3870 (Prerelease - WDDM 1.1) = 7.9
Gaming graphics1790 MB Total available graphics memory = 6.3
Primary hard disk104GB Free (180GB Total) = 5.9

Hmm interesting enough mine is only a 2.9. This is on a Dual Core 3.16 w/4g RAM running Win7 64bit. Graphics card is a Gforce 8800 GT x 2 (SLI). Whats ironic is my iMac which has a slower processor and only 2g RAM gets a 5.0. Go figure.

Here is mine..... It is crappy low because of the 7200rpm HDD as my C drive. Soon to be replaced with either SSD or 15000rpm.

Weridly enough, today i did a clean install from 7048x64 to 7077x64 and now my score has changed. very strange....

Maybe the firsat time it incorrectly determined the hard drive transfer rate.

Anyway, your numbers are incredible.

There is a whole other post on this subject located here:

In my lappy running Vista Business, I get 2.5
In my desky running Windows 7 RC 7100, I get 1.0. due to onboard graphics, which driver is not supported.
There is a way to increase the score by changing the values in the XML. And I was told, when the rating increases, some of the feature gets unlocked. dunno if it is true.

lol can you change the values in the registry?

For everyones amusement:
You all may noticed in the Windows Seven if your RAM limit is less than 3GB then your score is always limited to 5.5!!! ( see the xml mentioned below) So whether you have DDR3 RAM or buy cheap cheap, it will not make any difference!
There's a way to hack it:
Go to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\Datastore
and choose the XML file with the latest date, open it with word and change these values:
<WinSPR>
<SystemScore>x.x</SystemScore>
<MemoryScore>x.x</MemoryScore>
<CpuScore>x.x</CpuScore>
<CPUSubAggScore>x.x</CPUSubAggScore>
<VideoEncodeScore>x.x</VideoEncodeScore>
<GraphicsScore>x.x</GraphicsScore>
<GamingScore>x.x</GamingScore>
<DiskScore>x.x</DiskScore>
</WinSPR>
<Metrics>
Change the x.x between the <> and </> to whatever you want (not more than 7.9) .

In the previous folder (Winsat) you will see the movies they use to produce the data.

I tried Vista on this laptop and it was a slow pig. But what a difference with Windows 7. Totally usable, even with the Aero enabled. I'm not going back.

Well, after doing another video card swap, I got my overall score to go up. However, it wasn't without any sacrifices. On the bright side, I can actually play games at slightly higher detail settings or get a better frame rate with lower settings. At least I understand that a 4350 isn't necessarily better than a 3650 (600 Mhz core clock vs. 725 Mhz core clock).
