Computer speed

HI
I find it hard to know how fast my PC is to other so what is your Windows Index Mine is 5

 

[neil_g]

doesnt mean a lot without specs to compare though..

work laptop:

core 2 centrino 2.16
3gb
intel 945M graphics
hitachi sata
vista x64

processor 5
memory 4.7
graphics 3.3
gaming 3
hard disk 5.1

so 3

i think my HTPC (win7, dual core 2.2, 2gb, spinpoint, ati 3650 512mb) is running 4.7

Windows Index only shows the slowest component. So not really a fair test

 

[neil_g]

maybe we should download 3dmark and have a good old benchmarking session..

 

[RobertP]

Mines all 5.9 except the memory which drops the score to 5.5. never bothered to try and find out why it is low. Don't think the windows index means much really.

3DMark isn't really a good benchmark to compare PCs that I imagine are mostly aimed at image editing.

CustomPC has a great benchmark with image editing (I think you can even run the image editing section on its own), that would be far better and give a comparison that people here would actually find useful.

 

[neil_g]

it was the first benchmark program i could remember off the top of my head, generally i dont bother as i can tell if my computer is fast or slow lol

mine is 5.1, let down by the graphics card on my laptop.
Processor - 2.5Ghz Dual Core - 5.9
Memory - 4Gb - 5.9
Graphics - 5.7
Gaming Graphics - 5.1
HDD- 500Gb WD - 5.8

so not too bad

 

[mrgas]

everything on my laptop is above 5.0 except the graphics card which is 3.8

That probably explains why i post so much ***** for C and c !

How do we know what our index is..???

 

[PsiFox]

Just another E-penis measurement really

[joxby]

ahh, that explains it, its a Vista thing......

I ain't never gonna do Vista, not even for a windows index thingumytabob doodarr..

Have you Fdisk it what do it see?
is it all formated? who installed it?
I forgot most of XP now been on Vista too long and would not g back Got Vista SP2

 

[PsiFox]

I've got several large drives in my pc's Vista recognises them all .

I also find Vista to be much more stable than XP ever was and have been running it since it came out with no problems whatsoever.

 

[joxby]

I'm using it.
It has a 127gb partition and 300 odd gb of "un-allocated" in disc management.

Gotta agree here. I've been using vista since it came out. And the only time it has crashed has been when ive overclocked too far! And that is a hardware fault, nothing to do with vista!

Common problem usually attributed to the controllers on the motherboard or the BIOS being incompatible.
