I just finished installing Vista Home Premium -- my score is 4.2. I suppose that is adequate.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

that's a pretty good score for ultimate edition even.
i had a 4.1 (before i 'upgraded' to the ati drivers for my graphics card and got busted to a 2.9

I had vista business edition, and had a 3.7 on it, and I just recently installed ultimate edition b/c business edition is just awful, but I now have a 3.8 on the same computer. Does anyone know if different version use hardware differently, I don't think it does, but this is the only conclusion on the score difference.

your first score probably happened when the processor was under a load or something.
the two values 'are' very similar. barring the reason your base score changed being like, one of your subscores plummeted, I'd have two say when you tested on business edition, your processor may have been under a load of some kind, resulting in the change of score.
since the score was such a small change, I wouldn't worry about it. but, out of curiosity, did you by any chance change from a 32, to a 64 bit version when you upgraded?

Nope, ran it with nothing running, didn't change the type of install (32 to 64 bit). And the only change was in the graphics, but nothing changed with that.
Well it doesn't really make a difference, since yes it was only a .1 increase.

also, possibly they released a newer drivers version from when you first scanned. that could explain things as well.
