I have been using Vista RC2 on my PC. Bought a (new) used MB and Video card
that were more compatible with Vista. After installing Vista RC2 on this new
hardware configuration, I was pleased that the Vista rating was 4.1 ..with a
HD rating of 4.9. ( I printed the screen for future reference )

Now I have purchased and installed Home Premium. Unfortunately, the rating
has dropped to 3.2 because the HD rating dropped to 3.2. All other scores are
nominally the same.

Same MB, ram, video, HD, etc ....just different version of Vista.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Download and update your MB chipset drivers.
