I have an HP dv6500t notebook with a Intel Core 2 T7300 which only comes out as 4.5 on windows vista score. My friend alos has an hp notebook with one of the original core duo (I dont remember which on but its either 1.73 or 1.83 ghz). He said his score was 4.8 for his processor but I think he might have meant 3.8. Is this possible? and what the heck is the point of the scores

man, forget scores, if your computer runs great you don't need scores, test your comp on real games and applications
if you using some testing programs, than that can give wrong result

Because Vista is a resource hog, that can bring many normally fast computers to their knees due to the fact the excess eye candy you will need a powerful graphics card and at least 2 Gigs of ram, oh and gaming with it , good luck. I would stick with XP as newer isn't always better and Vista proves that.

if you mean that your overall windows experience index 'base score' is 4.5, this is because it's determined by the lowest scoring aspect on your machine.
you can have the greatest machine around in every sense, but put a poor graphics card in and your score will dive-bomb and your score will be whatever score is given to the graphics card by windows.
