| There's a new feature on Tom's hardware guide that has a quad extreme processor with a score of 5.9 so looks like you need to upgrade! They also talk about how the score will be increased over time but that existing scores will remain for comparison.

| Yeah it would take a Quad core! Up-grade maybe, the cheapest one if at all.

Great thread SRTDodge05 I have the same score as Rickwell. When I first installed Vista I was getting a constant 5.7 but I believe MS might have possibly updated this. My mem score is dragging me down to 5.6 now. and I'm at 800MHz (12-4-4-4) ![]() Also I believe my disk score went up (AHCI now). I will try to post a current benchmark later. | |

| That may have been my case as well. I think it may have been newer drivers. Also since Intel came out with quad-core |
