What's your Vista Score? - Page 3

**Kalim** · 09-24-2007, 03:00 AM

Can't honestly say yet, sorry. Biggest hint is in the background.

2CPUs by the way.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 09-24-2007, 07:57 AM

What do you work for the goverment or something?

**Kalim** · 09-24-2007, 08:47 PM

You know, anyone working for such affiliated agencies would never admit it, don't you?
I'm just a simple off the shelf guy, really. :p
Those chips in the background are Q1 08 launch 45nm by the way.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 09-24-2007, 08:57 PM

So you do, the fact that you were "off on service" and how you are paid there lol?

**Kalim** · 09-24-2007, 10:11 PM

Ah well, professional duty comes first especially where it involves the lives of many and my personal career commitments. I have a few side jobs and responsibilities, all but two of which I'm the boss of, so very flexible. ;)
I do have an interesting main job though, quite exciting although too erratic for most. I almost forgot 90% of the knowledge about Windows XP computing in the last 9 weeks, which is nothing new in my history. Still weak on it at the moment but it's coming back... slowly.

I don't believe that for one minute. You're too modest.

**Kalim** · 09-25-2007, 07:25 AM

100% true.

Life's different where you learn compendiums worth inside a given time and have to focus on crucial tasks requiring 100% focus for a while and when leave your common tasks and daily routines aside. The only way you remember something is through repetition, a stimulus or lack of doing anything else, and when those conditions are not met, you forget. I haven't used Windows since around 26th July and was given a system to install Windows around 27th of this month, and it BSoD. Had absolutely no clue what to do till yesterday after reading up. And am still struggling to install the graphics. It's nothing new, happens every year where a major assignment comes along.

I just got a 5.8 with an overclock but the score was initially 5.7

My current system scored a 5.4 with some overclocking. My 3850 even o/c bought it down a bit with a 5.6/5.4.My CPU is at 5.5. My mem got a 5.8 and HDD got a 5.6...all in all not bad for a system that is headin towards retirement

My Acer 6920G surprised me a bit. CPU - 4.9, Mem - 4.5, Graphics - 5.5/5.2, HDD - 5.2. Wasnt expecting that from a midrange laptop

**Mack** · 01-23-2009, 11:02 AM

My system is a self build with massive help from wrench.

Specs are in "My System"

I'm could probibly increase my HD performance if I looked into it. However, it works, so why mess with it.

**Jtsou** · 01-23-2009, 12:21 PM

Glad you bumped this thread up from about a year and a half ago. I will post mine as soon as i get home.

**Mack** · 01-23-2009, 02:44 PM

I didn't bump it but ok :)

**Jtsou** · 01-24-2009, 06:18 AM

I meant Derek -.-

derek_jones_36 · 01-24-2009, 09:49 AM

Yeah no problem. I was new to Vista anyway and when I saw the post about the vista scores I wanted to post mine and to find out what others thought.

**Jtsou** · 01-24-2009, 11:14 AM

Asus P5k-E
E8400 @ 3.6Ghz

Seagate 160GB hd 7200rpm

derek_jones_36 · 01-25-2009, 11:26 AM

I got a pic of my score below. Sorry I didn't take the pic from within my system but you can still see it.

**Jtsou** · 01-25-2009, 11:37 AM

Ahh I need to get a Raid array to bump mine up :P

derek_jones_36 · 01-25-2009, 11:42 AM

I get pretty fast file downloads with RAID 0. Nearly a gig or at least upper 900's for file trasnfers. Even getting loads from site is freakishly fast.

**Jtsou** · 01-25-2009, 11:56 AM

Your hard drives dont affect your download speeds.

derek_jones_36 · 01-25-2009, 12:05 PM

Just refering to installs and stuff like that.
