Full 2 GB Of Memory Not Increasing Score

Nov 8, 2007

I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop which so far had 512 MB RAM and it ran beautifully under XP. Last month I upgraded to Vista Ultimate and got a WEI of 2.0 because my memory rating was 2.0. All the other scores were 3.7 and above. Here's the strange bit. Last week I upgraded the memory to 1.25 GB by removing one 256 MB module and inserting a 1GB pqi PC3200 DDR 400 module that I bought from Newegg. It had very good customer reviews. The score for memory dropped to 1.6 after the increase in memory! Today I removed the remaining 256MB and inserted another pqi 1GB to bring the total to max of 2GB. The score than increased to a lowly 2.5. My question is how come a full 2 GB of memory not increasing the score? How are people getting higher scores with 1GB on their machines? The Inspiron 9100 is a workhorse with very good specs and I expected it to get a very good WEI running vista.

Increasing Experience Index Score Over 5.9

Jul 27, 2009

Is there a way to increase the max WEI score to something higher than 5.9 in Vista? I don't mean the xml file hack where you can change the number for each category to anything you want, but rather an increase on the maximum limit (currently 5.9) that the WEI can display. Maybe change it to something around Win7's level? Is this possible?

Increasing Partitions The EASY Way...

May 30, 2009

It seems today is my day for asking goofy questions

My windows 7 dual boot OS is the one I use to play all my games now, which by the way, I did not know this would be the case, hence, why I only made it about 40 GBs, leaving the Vista partition the bigger of the two.

Well, it has come time to install, yet, another game but I only have about 5 GBs left and the game needs 10GBs to install. Sure, I could uninstall the other 2 games I have already installed but, I am only half way done with them.

Anyways, I have plenty of space on my Vista partition and I would like to know if Acronis Disk Director is as easy to use as I have read. Aside from this, do I need to be worry about loosing any info (images, documents, etc, etc) on my Vista OS once I start the process or should I stop worrying so much.

Increasing Window Size?

Dec 23, 2009

When I go from my desktop to my internet homepage (yahoo), I sometimes get a small window , and sometimes get a whole-page size window. I prefer the whole-page size without having to click that middle restore button on the upper right-hand corner of my screen everytime I go to my homepage. First, what are the names that describe the smaller size window, and the larger one? Is that what a thumbnail is? Second, I must presume there's a setting somewhere, where I can toggle the whole-page size preference when I go from my desktop to homepage. Can you tell me if there is, and how do I get to it?

ReadyBoot: Would Increasing Size?

Aug 18, 2008

Was having a poke around Vista, and like always I found something new (even after 10 months of using it, I'm finding new stuff). I came across ReadyBoot and looked around the properties, and it mentions something about the amount of RAM it uses to boot up to load processes and drivers etc. The default size is 20MB, so I was thinking, the more stuff you have to load at bootup, would increasing this size result in any benefit at all? As once this is full, I guess it uses the hard drive, which would be considerably slower.

Increasing Hard Drive Space

Apr 27, 2009

I have a 2 disk, dual boot system.

Drive 0 has Vista Business installed. I'm dual booting Server 2008 Standard which is on Drive 1.

I want to increase the size of Drive 1. What is the best way to do this?

I was thinking I could boot in Vista (Drive 0) and make a full backup of Drive 1. Upgrade Drive 1 to the large disk and then restore Drive 1 from backup. What other method can I use?

Increasing Scan Size Not Working

Sep 11, 2009

I'm trying to scan a newspaper article and send it as an attachment. The print is way too small to read. I've tried increasing the size within the document itself using MS Works as well as Open Office and it doesn't make it clearer. I've also tried increasing the size on my copier and that doesn't help.

Increasing Partition Size In Ultimate...

Mar 28, 2009

I'm trying to go entirely Vista. I have two partitions, the C.: = partition is my Vista partition. The D.: partition it's what's left of = my XP installation. I wish to get rid of the XP installation and just = have one partition that is Vista. I have updated via Windows update, run = a "CHKDSK" did a cleanup on the current Vista partition and back things = up on my external USB using Norton ghost.

What is the best method of extending the C: partition? Do I simply = un-allocate the D: partition and then extend the C: Vista partition? Do = I have to format the D: partition?

Increasing Font Size Not Change

Mar 17, 2009

Last week I purchased my 1st laptop and thus entered the world of Vista after running Win XP home since it 1st came out. I'm a senior at 62, and my eyesight isn't the best anymore. I tried 1024x600 for larger font size but didn't like how graphics and Icons looked, so I went back to the default of 1288x600. My problem is the the font size including emails is just too small, so I'm forced to continually use Control + to increase it. Is there a way to change the font size so I don't have to do this. I'm running Firefox 3.07 and the latest version of Thunderbird. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934

Offical Performance Score Thread

Jun 13, 2006

I think it would be neat to have everyone post up their PC specs and the score which Vista gave you in the perfomance center. Try and follow the same format.

Me:

Specs:

AMD Turion x64
2GB DDR2700
80GB 4800 RPM HD
ATI Radeon Mobile Express w/ 128mb shared

My Score: 2

Just Noticed That My System Score Went From 2.4 To 6.8 After SP1... Why Such A Difference?

Apr 12, 2008

I just find it strange that it would be such a difference. I hit the 'update my score' twice and still the same, even after a reboot. I'm thinking that this hole score thing is a bit of a crock!

WinRAR Score With The TLB Fix Enabled Is A Sickening 80 Vs 454 Disabled

Jan 26, 2009

WinRAR = 454 w/TLB fix diabled Avg scores for my system 1,100 Call Juarez = 30 FPS Avg score = 45. Dont know whats wrong. Could it be a dead core? How can I check?

1) My WinRAR score with the TLB fix enabled is a sickening 80!!! vs 454 disabled. So I am certain that the fix was disabled at my score of 454.

2)Regarding number of active cores:
a) When I run task manager I see only ONE window for CPU in performance.
b) Running CPU-Z V1.49 shows ONE Processor ONE Core
c) CrystalCUPID V 4.15 shows only ONE of One cores (Code name Agena?) I should see 1/FOUR
d) In Vista Sidebar using mCPU Gadget: Shows Four cores HOWEVER
only ONE ever displays activity. I tested it by really loading up applications and Never saw activity of the other three cores!!!......

Exploring, Memory DiagnosticsIf Vista Detects A Memory

Feb 23, 2007

Memory DiagnosticsIf Vista detects a memory problem in your system such as a faulty RAM module, it will display a notification asking if you want Vista to try to diagnose the problem.Then again you may also recieve the sudden BSOD with the error MEMORY MANAGMENT at the top. You can manually run this tool anytime just typememory in the search box inside the start menu.This tool offers you two options: restarting immediately and checking for problems, or running next time you reboot your machine (the memory diagnostic tool must run at boot time).  

Network DiagnosticsWindows Vista also allows you to check the connectivity of your network connection using the Network Diagnostics Framework: An infrastructure and a set of built-in and extensible components that attempts to automatically diagnose and correct network connectivity problems. The usual way to run this check is to open Network Center and click the Diagnose Internet Connection link on the left Vista will either identify ............

Total Memory Available 3.3GB With 4GB Physical Memory Under Windows 7 64 Bit

Nov 29, 2009

I had 4GB physical memoryon the PC. With Windows vista 32 bit, available memory is shown as 3.3GB. I asked and was told that only under 64 bit windows, will the available memory be 4GB. When I upgraded to windows 7, I chosed 64 bit, but the available memory shown in the system is still 3.3 GB. Why is this and is there a way to make the full 4GB available? It's possible that my video card is using RAM instead of its own RAM. If I install a video card with its own RAM, will the full 4GB be available?
