The Experience Rating is derived from five subscores which are: Processor, Memory, Graphics, Gaming Graphics and Primary Hard Drive.</p><p>All five are benchmarked by Vista which assigns a score between 1.0 and 5.9 at the end. All five sub scores are then used to calculate the Windows Experience Rating. The weakest score is 1.0 while the highest score currently possible lies at 5.9.</p><p>Microsoft will add higher scores every 12-18 months to reflect changes in the hardware market. There won&#8217;t be a system that currently gets a score higher than 5.9 unless you tweak it with System Point.</p><p><span

It&#8217;s great for fooling friends though.</p><p><img
