I'm curious to know what your Windows Experience Index is. I only have a 3.2 for gaming graphisc because I went with a base graphics card (I'm not into gaming) but my processor, RAM, and data transfer is between 5.1-5.8 which is supposed to be a pretty good score.

Its something new with Vista. Its gives your computer a score and then you use that score to know if your computer can handle certain games or programs. Go to your Control Panel and look at your System Information. You should see the Windows Experience Index there.
