Aquamark benchmark readings low with windows seven

[marcismccain]

ok i have 4 pc's, all 64 bit and fast {4 gig ram}. just would like to know why i get around 130,000 point readings on all four systems when running xp, but now i put on windows seven and all 4 pc's readings are around 80,000. is windows seven slowing down my machines? games even seem to play slower

Aquamark is a very old benchmark. Try something newer. 3DMark 06 from futuremark should give you a better "MARK" than from something that came out before even Vista was released...
