Re: What is 'YOUR' vista experience score.

I just finished installing Vista Home Premium -- my score is 4.2. I suppose that is adequate.

Re: What is 'YOUR' vista experience score.

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.

Re: What is 'YOUR' vista experience score.

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?

Re: What is 'YOUR' vista experience score.

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.

Re: What is 'YOUR' vista experience score.

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

Re: What is 'YOUR' vista experience score.

3.6 for the grraphics card but I dont like it because it goes to 100% usage every now and then for no reason and the reset button is the only way out ;-((
