Vista Experiene Index.

I don't get it. What is their qualification for a 5.9 proc?? Look at this SS, my CPU should def. be 5.9.

I think you need quad core for 5.9. At 3.9 GHz my E6600 doesn't even get a 5.9.

It probably looks at stock and not over clocked peformance. Which overall is a good idea as the tool is used for marketing.

No, at stock my C2D got a 5.3

Nope DJ, when mine was stock at 2.4 it registered as 5.3. Now it is 5.7.

 

[Äߧý∩†H♠H䎀]

I'm at 5.8 on the processor.

What do you have yours at?

The Vista Experience Index can't actually go above 5.9 right now for some reason. I think MS said it was something to do with no hardware existing to allow for it so it got capped to avoid confusion and erratic results.

You can change your Index to anything you like if you go to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSat\Datastore and open the XML file you'll find in there. Edit Line 12 to a value of your choice! Although I don't know if putting in a negative index score or something huge will break it because I haven't tried it myself, just something a colleague told me.
