what will be the scores by Vista for this PC??

[waleedhk]

hi everyone, i am going to build a computer for my bro...
the specs are:
Pentium d 945 3.4ghz 4mb L2 Cache
Ga-965p-s3
7300GT
1gb ram
80gb hdd

so i wanted to ask if some one have similar setup or same components, what are their scores.

 

[Assman]

this setup is kinda old, i would suggest get xp instead of vista.

 

[waleedhk]

ya that was an old post i got a e4300 now...its at 3.22ghz

 

[Assman]

nice oc

Unsure of what your current build is. You say it was old spec --- from general stand point ---- for a new build running vista --- I would recommend at least 2 gigs memory--- hard drive seems short on space at only 80 gigs --- not much difference in cost to go to 250 gig or 320 gig --- a 7600 video card might be better.


With that being said, if this is new build see nothing stopping from new build using vista. With regard to actual performance scores of your system, I would not know as your specs are somewhat unclear.

 

[Assman]

agree

 

[dsharp9000]

Assman--- what a name ---- did you get this from sienfeld.

 

[Assman]

well, i love the series but actually it comes from my love to woman's ass

 

[dsharp9000]

either way --- cool name --- I love a women's ass better than sienfeld too--- maybe we better stop here on this and let topic continue.

 

[Assman]

you're right 8)

 

[waleedhk]

i have right now an 7600gt, e4300 (3.22ghz), 1gb ddr2 memory, ds3, 160gb hdd

 

[Assman]

not bad, if you haven't upgraded to vista yet i suggest you wait, at least until sp1.

 

[derek101700]

i have vista and the bottleneck is the CPU 3.0 HT scores 4.2

so id say your graphics card will be the score bottleneck

 

[Assman]

derek101700 is right about the video card

@derek101700: what's your graphics score?

 

[waleedhk]

its running good...it is because i dont play games on vista.. i play it on win 2000 it plays the best. and i was having a p 4 631 cedar mill it was scored 4.3 in vista

 

[qwazzy]

Please. The 7600GT I have, NOT OC'ed, is rated at 5.9 for Graphics and 5.5 for Gaming Graphics. Memory is 4.5. :lol:

yeah, Vista is going to give you a 'min' score which in your case is going to be the 1M of memory (regardless of how high your cpu or video numbers are); 1G will give you a low to mid-4s number and 4G will give you a mid-5s number.

If you have Vista running, there are several help pages about the 'experience index' and its sub-scores. Also going to MS Vista there are MANY articles and threads about it.
