Vista perfomance rating - Whats yours?

Finally got Vista on my main pc 5.8

On stock 8800gts, e6600 @3.6ghz, raptor x, 2 gig cell shock @900 at the mo

I might try for 5.9, not sure its worth the bother. I was getting 5.7 on my machine @ my 3ghz day to day running, just cranked up the juice to have a look. Seems quite stable so far.

As far as I can see, 4-5 is a reasonable machine, 5+ is a really good machine and below 4 need burning.

Usage guidelines
The base score is a good indicator of how your computer will generally perform. Subscores can help you understand your computer's level of performance for specific usage scenarios as follows:

Office productivity. If you use your computer almost exclusively for office productivity, such as word processing, spreadsheets, e mail, and web browsing, then high subscores in the CPU and memory categories are important. Subscores of 2.0 or higher are usually sufficient for the hard disk, desktop graphics, and 3D graphics categories.

Gaming and graphic-intensive programs. If you use your computer for games or programs that are graphic-intensive, such as digital video editing applications or realistic first-person games, then high subscores in the RAM, desktop graphics, and 3D gaming graphics categories are important. Subscores of 3.0 or higher are usually sufficient in the CPU and hard disk categories.

Media Center experience. If you use your computer as a media center for advanced multimedia experiences such as recording HDTV programming, then high subscores in the CPU, hard disk, and desktop graphics categories are important. Subscores of 3.0 or higher are usually sufficient in the memory and 3D graphics categories.

lmao , so is vista worth the move now, does it always pop up in your face like norton asking you "do you want to do this" etc

if not, i guess i may get it

you can disable that Pie

also, as with most things that pop up with messages etc, you can usually disable them, i don't even notice norton anymore

main thing putting me off vista now is the XFi crap thats going on, directsound games sounding like crap, and the lack of decent drivers

yeah for me i think it is still early days, i think i will go for it once i know all my things will work the same as they do on xp

Am not bothered at all, it does what I want it to perfectly fine, just quite amusing to see it score 1.0 and the built in vista games are rated for 2.+
