    Well you will find "Performance Information and Tools " in Control Panel. you can access this through System and then click "Windows Experience Index "

    I am running a Acer Extensa 2300, 1280mb Ram, 160GB Hdd, Intel Extreme 2 Graphics, Conexant Audio.
    This is an old Laptop, about '04 I think, But Windows 7 Runs well on it, graphics is it's only downfall? not enough Ram, anyway the base score for this machine is:
    Processor : 2.4
    Ram : 2.9
    Graphics (Aero) :1.9
    Graphics (Gaming) 1.0 :)confused: don't use it for gaming anyway, so why is this important :confused:)
    HDD : 5.6
    Base Score : 1.0

    Ok when I fire up the desktop sometime in the near future I will post it's score/s

    Regards Jac

    The "Gaming" part refers to "graphic intensive" applications such as digital video editing.

    My Win7 score is also a ONE due to the fifteen dollar video card;)
    I'm also using a Socket A mobo - Barton 2500 cpu...

    Have a feeling my score is going to go up. The following works for Vista and probably Win7:

    Hack your Windows Experience Index
    The results of the Windows Experience Index are stored in an XML file that you can modify to spoof your score. Who wants to show off a 2.1 system? Let’s make that a 9.9 powerhouse.

    1.Navigate to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore.
    2.Open up the most recent file in that folder. Make sure that your account has write access to that file. If not change the file permissions.
    3/Parse the file looking for the WinSPR entry. These are the items you want to edit. The maximum value you can use is 9.9.


    4.Save the file and you just turned your 2.1 system into a supercomputer.
