Tks Guys.

I think it is the best note I've had, ever.
Now I'm gonna run 3dmark, PCmark... that aren't Asus strong point. Let's see.

I don't know why my G50vt-A2 only gets 5.4 in Vista (5.4, 5.9, 5.9, 5.8, 5.9)... and in the CPU!!! I have stock specs.

The interesting thing, in Windows 7, the CPU jumps from 5.4 to 6.2 (6.2, 6.2, 5.9, 5.8, 5.9)

I wouldn't dread on this, and just waiting for Vista SP2 to hit the updates for my Asus (and others), that is behaving like yours at the moment; low score in Vista, but higher in W7.

cheers ...

I agree. I've done tests on another note* that I have and on a desktop, with W7 beta, W7RC 7100 and also VISTA SP2 "RTM".

Besides W7 being impressive fast (I think that this is a general opinion...), the SP2 really, really impressed me.

*This other note is a 6yrs old Dell 110l, celeron, 1gb ram (333)... I only use it for these releases. I've done a dual boot Win7RC and Vista Home Basic, and sure it was almost impossible to use the Vista. And W7 ran almost as a XP when configured for performance. The thing is that when I installed the SP2 on Vista, it was almost as good as the W7.

My conclusion is to expect a much faster machine when upgrading to a "stable" SP2

And goobers, about your scores : (5.4, 5.9, 5.9, 5.8, 5.9), it is quite the same! Pretty much sure that the thermal silver paste and the SSD somehow improves the score, but it is nothing compared to these W7 numbers that u have there!

Validated. Incidentally, for future benchmarks it's easier on the folks who check the numbers with the pics (like me ) if you upload the screenshots along with the benchmark. That saves having to go back and forth between tabs to validate your scores.
