Performance rating

Anyone know if there is a way to increase your performance rating without
switching your hardware?

the ram, processor and disk performance can't be improved without a hardware
change. the graphics performance can sometimes be improved by a driver
update. (the latest drivers from ATI improved my graphics performance from
2.8 to 3.3)

I have 1 gig DDR2 533Mhz and have seen it go from a rating of 5 down to 4.1.
I can't figure out the change.

you could try shutting down any programs that are running (the sidebar,
indexing...)
then run the performance rater again.
