I have a Dell XPS M1210 upgraded to 1.25GB of RAM (was a student when I got it) budt I still get a 3.9 rating.

Well , seeing as the best possible score is 5.9 thats not bad at all , the score is based on your worst performing part , the optical drive doesnt come into it at all so based on your spec your lowest performing part at a guess is probably the hard drive , a raid zero spec ( two hard drives acting as one in raid 0 ) would probably bring that up but youve only 0.6 to play with in Vistas benchmark and your doing pretty well so why bother?

I score 5.9

I scored 5.3.

Vista 64-bit
Intel E6600, stock speed
Abit AB9 Pro
4GB PC5400 RAM
4x various HDDs, no RAID going on. I think that's what kept the score down.
256MB 7800GTX

oh well that makes me happy! my memory only gets a rating of 5.2 and my hard disk gets 5.7 everything else is 5.9

reason the memory isnt higher is prob cos vista only recognises 3gb of my 4gb of ram...stupid vista

Not really. The rating is not necessarily based on the quantity of RAM installed but it's speed.

Hogzy

oh well in that case im surprised my ram got that high a score cos its not the fastest of stuff out there on the market! do you know if there is ny solution for the non recognition of my ram?

mathias

do you know if there is ny solution for the non recognition of my ram?

Thats a limit of 32 bit operating systems in general , maximum amount of ram addressable is 4GB but needs to reserve some space for the system stack so the OS only sees just over 3 GB ,

So the only solution to that particular problem is to move to a 64 bit version of Vista , and that is pretty particular about drivers so dont even think about it until youve collected all 64 bit Vista certified drivers first.

My score was 4.7, but there was a little message telling me to redo the test, which i did, and i've dropped to 4.6 The lowest is Graphics, it was higher alright, my gaming graphics is 5.1 which is odd...

Think i might need to update drivers or something...

Drivers can change the index score. On my graphics card, a 256MB 7600GT, with the in-box Vista drivers I get a score of 5.6 for Gaming graphics. This drops to 5.1 with the latest reference drivers.

Stephen

Bizarre, considering the nVidia drivers at the time of Vista's release were pretty rubbish!
I upgraded to 64-bit last week purely to get the system to see all 4GB of RAM and its been flawless since I guess I'm fortunate in that all of my hardware has decent 64-bit drivers availabe. My system feels way faster (especially in games) than it did running 32-bit. I think something was screwy with my 32 bit installation

I had to pay Mirosoft the sum of €10+VAT to get a 64-bit DVD though.

Hogzy

I think ill hold off on getting the 64bit edition until another year or so down the line. im not having any performance issues with games as of yet so i dont wanna go mending something thats not broken!iv had bad experience with that in the past :-P
