WHAT THE....1.0 on Vista rating? 2.4 Macbook

[Aniki]

Aero isn't even an option in parallels or vmware yet. lol

Yea I have the previous gen macbook and my graphics card (GMA X3100-piece of crap lol) has a rating of like 3.5 or something like that, but that's under Boot Camp, so that's ur best bet.

My MBA gets a 3.5 in Vista through boot camp, so it is very likely a virtualization issue.

If I was virtualizing Vista, I would certainly turn off Aero.

Lol. you don't even have an option to have Aero, much less turn it off.

Seriously, go with Boot Camp, it's free and much better in terms of performance.

I have 5.3 in vista x64 but in vmwarr fusion, I get 1.0. aero is just not possible to be virtualized yet.

My 2.2 ghz SR 8600m gt 128 mb mbp also gets a rating of 1.0 in bootcamp 32-bit... but Areo still runs anyway, even after the test. I have tried different video drivers and nothings works...

Here is your problem...

Windows/ Microsoft.


Are you really that surprised?

The GMA X3100 doesn't deserve a 3.5.

Delete the results and retest. You'll get a different rating if you "rescan". Its not an automatic process.

Don't worry, cranky Vista is just trying to get you to buy a PC.

you need to install this nvidia driver

it is special for the 9400m and the nforce chipset, all should be well afterwards

This should fix it...


Go to, C:\windows\performance\winsat
delete winsat.txt
open the datascore folder and delete all .xml files that you find.

go to performance settings and rate your pc.


Let us know if that worked for you.
