Thought I would poke my nose in........
Just tested and (after a couple of tweaks) got a score of 883 and no yellow/red flags.......so something must be wrong
I must say that I have enjoyed all the posts on this thread, and really laugh at the great sense of humour you peeps have.
Keep up the good work.........

There looking at overall perf. in relation to similar systems at Pc pitstop. your internet connection does not change your overall score Dsl or modem doesn't matter in the full tests. You can compare your system in the forums as i do and where i also learned about the connection thing. A great place to tweak is in the windows section as it shows you your running programs and by Dbl clicking on them you see information on the service. I Score 1066 with Adsl and 1060 in 2nd test today with modem 56k. For a quick boost in your score .>run disk cleanup empty your temp internet files, all your other temps recent docs, local temps msdowndl.tmp ect...and then defrag and then run tests. It seems that video perf. and memory speed has a large impact on scores.

When I ran this on my old computer, I scored below 100

But I'm happy to say that my current computer hit 452, which I'm perfectly happy with for now.

571, but I get a weird error when loading the utility..it asks me if i want to load it, then flashes the start tests page and goes back to the load utility page..anyone else having this happen? Here's my rig;

PIII 1Ghz, 512 MB PC-133, GeForce 4 Ti4200 128MB, 30GB Maxtor 7200rpm, 40GB Maxtor 5400rpm, WinXP Pro...

Havn't been able to click the test screen fast enough to test the adjustments...

edit: err, nevermind, browsed around the site a bit and found that I can test anonymously without the same error...time for some sleep methinks.
