The Vista benchmarking tool thread

[Ron2K]

For those of you who have Windows Vista Beta 2, you'll know that it contains a benchmarking utility (it's lurking in Control Panel if you haven't found it). So here's this thread: to compare the benchmarking scores obtained by said utility.

I installed Vista last night on my machine, which pretty much sucks (1.3GHz Celeron, 512MB RAM, TNT2 graphics card), and ran the benchmarking utility. Here's the results:

• Processor: 1.6 (1.3 GHz Celeron)
• RAM: 1.2 (504MB RAM)
• Primary hard disk: 3.7 (3.58GB of 10.00GB free)
  I only had a 10GB partition to install Vista to.
• Graphics: 2.0 (Standard VGA Graphics Adapter)
• Gaming graphics: 1.0 (Not detected)
  Yup, didn't spot the TNT2. I doubt there's even Vista drivers for it.
• Overall score: 1

Right, go forth and beat that...

<footnote>
I should have my new system ready next month. Only problem is that I couldn't find any RAID drivers for my new motherboard (Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro SLI) for Vista, so I don't know if I'll be able to install Vista to it. Probably not. I did e-mail Gigabyte about this one, and they're blaming NVIDIA.

Did this test on my SFF PC, will do it on my Athlon rig when it's up and running.
