Worst score was OS ... whats wrong with XP pro 64 bit? xD I have Vista too (duo boot) but XP so much faster in games =D

Well I love xp better than vista, I just put vista as 100% though I disagree with that look at my advatar... Anyways if 256 is to little for XP what do you think would be adequate?

I don't know I just think 256 is to low to get 100% but it depends on what this scoring system is aimed for. For gaming PCs it's too little. But for just standard home PCs it's fine

You might want to up it to 512 so it's more aimed for the future (Home PCs, otherwise for a gaming PC up it to whatever the best card is at the moment ... 8800 Ultra?)

Ok lets say we want to score a gaming PC

And lets make the scale,

Each property should contain the value to get 100%

Vista

Solo Processor = ????Mhz

Dual Processor = ????Mhz of 1 Core

Quad Processor = ????Mhz of 1 Core

Ram = ????MB

Memory Speed = ???Mhz

Video Memory = ???MB

Data Storage = ???GB Total

And then for XP and so on....

And then for XP and so on....

Solo Processor = 3.2 Ghz

Dual Processor = 3.0? Ghz of 1 Core

Quad Processor = 2.8? Ghz of 1 Core

Ram = 4 GB (not many people have more than that)

Memory Speed = (Not sure on this one ... How about 1200?) Mhz

Video Memory = 1 GB

Data Storage = 1 TB (My cousin has 2 lol) Total

honestly I don't think OS should be in the equation since many people are still using XP and vista tends to get lower FPS in certain situations with the same settings

And no for xp? and 2000? and ME, 98, 95?

I mean you can score the OS seperately but don't average it into the main score becuase the OS doesn't really "change" the hardware, so it should get the same score no matter what OS your using. Some people would would argue XP should be scored higher than vista xD

Well Windows XP takes less resoucres than Vista therefore the scores should be different..

[HeffeD]

Hmmm... I get 100% on everything except OS....

Why is WinXP Pro SP2 rated at 86%? Vista definitely doesn't outperform XP...

[CoderDunn]

Vista definitely doesn't outperform XP...

My point exactly ... An OS is a user preference and shouldn't have a score tied to it. I myself think vista runs like crap compared to XP, and so does everyone in my A+ certification class including the instructor. What one person considers the best might not be the same as the next person. My friends Band Director still considers his old win 98 better than any computer out there today. Why? It still does everyting he needs it for, and boots in only 15 seconds (including the time it takes to log in).

Ok well I wont include it in a average or as a its own progress bar, but all the checks like how much video memory should still be OS dependent....

I understand where you are coming from but the reason I'm against it is that it will be hard for people to acurately compare computers with different OS's. If I used your system, then when I booted into vista it would get a higher score than when it's in XP, but it actually runs much slower (especially in games) with vista. That doesn't make any sense. Why should vista be scored higher, when it runs slower? Just becuase it looks pretty? Your script is named "Computer Performance Profile"

That's why it makes more sense for it to be OS Independent.
