    Are you sure about that? It tells me the score ranges from 1 to 7.9 image

    I don't trust that built in piece of crap gauge to say how good my computer is. ^_^ I know my hardware in here and I know it's better than a 5.8.

    Ok, so what is your computer hardware specification? image

    Could be a salesman trick... they showed it to me in the store last week ;P

    No, your score is not bad.  Keep in mind that the total score is simply the lowest score.  In your case its the Hard Drive.  My Scores are all 7.5 or 7.4 with the hard drive also at 5.9.  You could have 7.9 in everything and a crappy hard drive will give you a crappy score.  But, 5.9 is not crappy.

    • A computer with a base score of 4.0 or 5.0 can run new features of Windows 7, and it can support running multiple programs at the same time.

    • A computer with a base score of 6.0 or 7.0 has a faster hard disk, and can support high-end, graphics-intensive experiences, such as multiplayer and 3?D gaming and recording and playback of HDTV content.

    So your computer is doing just fine.  You are basically in the top category (5.9 is close enough to 6.0).  The index started out just going to 5 but as new technology is released they up the top score.  If you wanted a higher score really the only thing you could do was to go to a raid setup or get one of those SSDs.

    it range from 1.0 to 7.9 so the one who say he have 8 either is lying or isnt talking about the same thing.

    I actually have a 5.9 base rating aswell. it takes the lowest of your score. My transfer rate(harddrive) is rated 5.9

    i have 7.6 for processor, 7.8 for ram 6.9 for graphic and 6.9 for gaming graphic

    I7 920 @ 2.7ghz (8 cpu total)
    12 gig DDR3 ram
    Nvidia Geforce 560 GTX TI
    window 7 64bit

    Thank you for the informative post. Indeed, the base score is the lowest. I did not know the index is constantly going up, that explains the discrepancy between my scores and the other person who mentioned figures above 7.9.

    Atleast they fixed it in Windows 7.  If you were on Vista it would say all your numbers are 5.9.

  • Xondar123Xondar123 Member CommonPosts: 2,543

    Most people will only have a 5.9 score simply because of the hard drives we use.

    If you want an easy, cheap way to up your computer's performance look into buying a cheap USB thumbdrive or SD memory card with a USB adapter and use it for ReadyBoost. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost

    6.1

    6.1

    7.2

    7.2

    5.8 (hardrive so base score is 5.8)

     

    I do happen to have an intel x25m SSD ordered that should be here in a few days so I'll rerun and post after its in just for shits and giggles.

     SSD installed

    6..2

    6.2

    7.2

    7.2

    7.5

    Base score of 6.2

    My next upgrade is the mb/processor/memory and that will change the drive from SATA to SATAII so I'm sure the harddrive will peg 7.9 at that point.
