System-Raiting

[unknown]

i just installed vista on my computer, overall i think it's the best OS i
have ever seen, and i'm a big fan of Windows in general or even latest
stable OS XP.

but here is the thing...

VISTA running kind of slow for me, even though I thought i had a decent
computer, not according to "Performance Rating and Tools"..

Overall raiting - 4
Processor - Intel Pentium 4 3.4Ghz - 4.1
Memory - 2.0Gb - 5.1
Primary hard disk: 356.45Gb Free (371.61GB Total) - 4.0
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX - 5.9
Gaming Graphics - 256MB - 5.7


Processor if mine is 4.1, what is 10? Pentium D? or P EE?
memory 2.0g is only 5, what's to? 4GB? does VISTA really need 4GB??
HDD: 400g gives 4.0, how much VISTA really needs??? 1TB?
Graphics, 5.9, i though for today there is one more modification that came
out after mine and i have 5.9..
Graphics's MEM - 256 - 5.7 how much is 10? 1G?

what is requirements and recomends setup for VISTA?

The code is not optimized yet. After the system gets through indexing you
should see more responsiveness. I have a dual core 64-bit system with 4GB
of ram and Vista x86 is slow even on it (Vista x64 is much more responsive).

Here is some information about the ratings:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/f59082f4-6385-4a61-ba7e-2de9625a780a1033.mspx
Search Microsoft.com for "vista performance ratings" for more.

You more than meet the minimum or recommended for Vista:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/systemrequirements.mspx
Also:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx

You have a very high rating.
Just because the computer does not have the maximum 5 rating does not even
suggest the computer does not meet Vista requirements.

Also do not get to hung up on the numbers, use as a guide only.
Does the computer do what it needs to do as well as it should?
If not, the specific issue will probably point to the resolution.
Lastly, all the available information is subject to change as long a Vista
is in Beta.

If I recall correctly, the "overall ratings" only go from 1 to 5.

Ratings for the time being are between 1 and 5, but they WILL eventually go
higher... This rating is not supposed to change from year to year or Windows
version to version. If that PC is a 4 today, it will still be a 4 in 2020
running Windows Gestapo version.

If I were you, I would be crying tears of joy, I have a lousy 2. But like
Colin says, Vista is not optimized for performance, so things might still
get better.

code is not optimized yet, that part i can agree with...

how does my system gets indexed? do i need to boot my vista andlet it be for
an hour? i think i've tryed that .. same thing..

 

[unknown]

if it'd be 1 out of 5
then my video wouldn't detect 5.9 and gaming ram would be 5.7
the system obviosly is out of 10

i dont think maximum is 5, i think maximum is 10.

Overall raiting - 4

Primary hard disk: 356.45Gb Free (371.61GB Total) - 4.0
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX - 5.9
Gaming Graphics - 256MB - 5.7

see, some of those settings are over 5.0

Do not let the ratings of the other components confuse you, the numerical
relationship is not as you think
The maximum rating for a computer is 5:

Particularly see "Introducing the Windows System Assessment Tool"
Your 4 is near the top.
