Click on Start, Control Panel, open System and Maintanance. Under System you'll see "Check your computer's Windows Experience Index base score", click on it. Thats it.

You have to be using Vista to see that people.......

[ijakings]

There is a program which is accepting beta signups on Microsoft Connect that will assess 1 or many networked PC's to tell them what they need to do to get a Standard or premium windows vista experience. But the one above is just if you have vista already installed.

[ijakings]

Like you'll have a choice whether to upgrade or not. After awhile nothing will run on xp anymore.

I have a friend with developers access, and 10user licence. hehe

Its a public beta.

Mine is a final release Vista Ultimate.

Vista is pretty cool, i like it. But... there is nothing out there made for Vista, so its pretty useless right now. My BF2 does not work on it. One thing that i like the most is that no matter what you connect to your Vista running PC, it already has a driver for it. You dont need to install any drivers for your printer, digi cam, phone, or whatever. Vista has a huge driver library implemented in it.

If you want to try it out, make sure you install it on a separate hard drive. Cause you will not be able to roll back. But it will save all your documents, installed programs, OS, etc in a separate folder.

ill wait for the final version when ever that is released god only knows how many computer parts on my pc might actually support the darn thing.


i think ill just wait and save some hassle

cool that you got vista tho kol. just not ready for me yet ( vista reminds me of millionium that windows did after 98 lol xp is fine for me thnx

[Kolhozik]

Well, if any of you are interested in Vista, i suggest upgrading your ram to something over 2Gbs. I have two, and its not enough, if you wanna run games on it.

[TheL3gend]

1 Gig is fine for any of the versions if you don't plan on massive gaming. If you do play games like 2142 or something, you will need 2 gigs.

[Why Two Kay]

1gb is minimum for good XP use these days.

[ijakings]

Ive got 2.5 and vista ran well till I needed the space and reformatted the partition

[VetteDude]

Is Vista just XP with transparencies?
