    Low score on Windows Experience Index

    My P4 2.8 Ghz processors scores a dismal 1.5 on the WEI running Windows 7. Not sure how it scored on XP, but better than that, I think. What`s up with that?
    Thanks for any comments.

    Is it just the 4 to 5 year old processor that scored low?
    (xp doesn't have the same scoring)
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Make sure that you don't do anything else while running the test - multitasking will adversely affect the CPU score in particular. You're never going to get a blistering score from a single-core P4 though.

    And your video is?

    Guaranteed a old AGP 2/4 card will kill the score.

    From there down, they do a fine job of explaining things.

    It is just the processor that scores low. Everything else scores 3+.
    It pains me just a little to think that my P4 2.8 single core is "old". Not that I even use the system (till now, and only to check out W7).
    Thanks all.

    Win 7 will run on a older machine yet. And I am doing it and it works just fine.
