I have a new PC I just built that is being rated "unfairly" by Windows 7:
Here are the details: Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 945 - rated 7.3 Memory: 4 GIG DDR3 RAM - rated 7.5 Graphics (Desktop Performance for Aero) - rated 4.2 Gaming Graphics: ( NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1 MB Memory)- 6.2 Primary Hard Disk: (1 TB Seagate SATA) - rated 5.9 (cleaned and defragmented) The motherboard is Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P I don't understand how the Graphics for Aero is is so much lower that the Graphics for gaming? Also, how a SATA hard drive be rated so low? Any thoughts about any tweaking I can do to improve some of these ratings? Thanks, Mac |

If so, that may be why the rating is so low. My notebook with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 PCI-e has an Aero rating of 5.6 and Gaming of 6.2. My SATAII drive is 5.8, not much different than yours. Have you installed the latest and greatest video drivers? SC Tom |

I do have the latest NVidia graphic drivers. How come the Aero Rating is
more difficult than the Graphics Gaming ratio? I would have thought it be the other way around? mac |

I would have thought it be the other way around? mac I don't have an answer for that. Vista was the same way. I kinda ignore those anyhow- I can run heavy-duty games like BioShock and Painkiller I and II on my notebook with no problems and my desktop looks fine, so what's the big deal? As long as your PC performs to your expectations, that's all that counts, IMHAWO. SC Tom |
