CoolGamer: the vista experience score is yes, basically, a performance rating.
and it lies worse than a kid with red paint on his hands.

rcs8-post the "detailed" image of your current specs, like i did (just in case). Also, i got 5.9, which was weird, but cool. i don't take it very seriously.

Not sure, should it be higher? It was only like $100 after a rebate, it isn't the best, but it isn't mainstream. Handles Company of Heroes, Half Life 2, and Unreal Tournament 2004 just fine. I am sure I could get the 5.6 up a little with some OCing, but I am happy with what it does... better than my old 6600LE which got like a 3.
