Microsoft has been launch a new feature on their new Windows Vista operating system. Windows Experience Index base score is help customer to understand how well Windows Vista and the software running on and the index achieve this by the capability of the PC and assigning the score. The higher score indicates the better Windows Vista running on your PC.

The overall PC performance is represented the base score. The base score is derived from 5 subscore for each following 5 attributes:
1. Processor (calculation per second)
2. Memory (operation per second)
3. Graphics (desktop performance for windows aero graphics
4. Gaming graphics (3D graphic performance, useful for gaming and 3D business apps
5. Primary hard disk (data transfer rate of the primary hard disk)

To open the windows performance just open Control Panel, and select Performance Information and Tools. You should already see the score. If your score only 1.0 maybe all the driver for the first time finish installation Vista has not support. After update driver you can refresh to update your score and need several minutes. The score is determined by the lowest subscore. I want to share my score when using my Axioo Notebook and here is my score screenshot.

The score only 2.9 and from base score definition the score between 2.0 – 2.9 means:
1. Description – PCs will run Windows Vista but most cases will not be Aero capable.
2. Application and Scenarios – Improve responsiveness. Same applications as base score of 1.0 – 1.9. Basic performance. Productivity applications, IM, web, email, simple games – like Solitaire, educational games.

If you see my score, the lowest score come from gaming graphics and memory. Since my graphic card for my NL 758i Centaur only have integrated Mobile Intel 045GM Chipset 64 MB and memory only 512MB DDR2 , I think it must be upgrade to 1GB memory but I guess can not upgrade the graphic card. Hopefully I can buy a new notebook with a good power graphic card.

   Doubling your RAM capacity from 512MB to 1GB will NOT improve your Vista memory rating as the test specifically measures DATA TRANSFER SPEED, regardless of memory size. So unless you replace your 512MB chip with a faster DDR2 you won’t see a difference in ratings…

   I have a problem with my computer, it seems my index score is 3.1, I need to get it to 4.3 to run a game I have. I’ve uninstalled every other game I have, however my score remains the same, is there anything I can do to improve it? Besides replacing the internal systems etc…?

   Get CCleaner and overclock your video/graphics card.
