When I was idling on winbetas IRC someone said it goes over 5.9...

It does go over 5.9.
My processor is rated 6.3 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600)
Memory is rated 5.5 (OCZ 8GB 800MHz but only reads 3GB as its a 32bit OS)
Graphics is rated 7.9 (NVIDIA Geforce 9800GX2)
Gaming Graphics is rated 6.0
Hard disk is rated 5.2 (Installed on an old Samsung 160GB IDE)

Seems to rate hardware a little more acuratly.

It's probably been recoded so it may still have some bugs in it.

Hey, it's about time. All those 5.9's were a tad bit annoying (since you didn't know exactly how your hardware rated, you just knew that it maxed out the rating system).

i really should check how my system will fare with 7 whence it comes out.

mine is 1.0 because of my gaming graphics otherwise it would be a 3 (old laptop not the one i normally use) but my aero graphics experience is 1.9.. which means you probably need 2.0 to use aero

Interesting. The Dx9-Accelerated VMWare 6.5 Graphics also scores 1.0 for Gaming, and 1.9 for Aero Graphics.

And yes, 2.0 is the required spec to enable Aero.

In another topic wich is about the same as your question.

If you're graphics card doesn't support it, it doesn't work!.
And you CAN'T for aero anymore only in early longhorn builds, not vista nor 7.

It's funny, I installed 7 on this system, which got a 5.3 in Vista. It get's a 4.0 on 7. Must be time to upgrade my RAM. lol

FYI, the Pentium D is the worst dual-core processor of all time.

About time they changed it... my dual core rig:

Shame, I still have 1.0 on Windows 7, same as I got on Vista.

Had a look on my Dell, the Windows Experience Index base score has improved slightly. Used to be a 3.6 on Vista, 3.8 on 7. An improvement somewhat. I'll screenshot it when I get round to it.

zamadatix's inbuilt graphics supports aero glass - I know cause it works fine on our family computer

It's hard to know whether they're installed or not. It seems to identify the hardware as "S3 ProSavage DDR", but it seems to be using the sStandard VGA adapter.

Damnit. Dropped .1 from Vista's ranking.
