I just upgraded my Video Card from a NVIDIA 7300 LE 256 MB to a PNY Technologies 7600 GS 512 MB.
Is there a way I can get the MS Windows System Assessment Tool to see how I will do?
From what I've seen I can't but want to make sure.

You would think MS would make this and the Windows Upgrade Advisor 64 Bit edition If it even exists available to XP
users.

I have a system than can run the 64 bit(I think?) but I am not going to take a chance and buy something I will have
problems with.

Have a good day,
RScotti

remove "nospam" in order to email me.

There isn't really a way to see what score you would get today, as there
isn't much of a db of scores. However that was the plan.

Here some info

If you have pretty new computer then you shouldn't have any problems running
x64, however unless you have 4Gb of ram there there isn't much point.

With a video card with the same specs on an Intel Core 2 Duo x6400 I get 4.7
and 4.8 for my graphics scores. While not the highest end scores, they're
pretty good unless you are into high end games that were written in the last
year or two. And even then, those scores would indicate reasonable
performance.

Well, I only have 2 GB of ram. So I guess I'll have to go with the x86 one. Thanks.

Hi Dale,
Here are my specs. I have a (Duo Core?) but it's Not the same. Yours is a lot more powerful.
I am hoping for a score from about 3.5-4.0. Since my processor is "midrange" according to CNET I don't want to upgrade
my Video card or anything else.
I have to stay with what I got until I buy a new box maybe in three years.

PS:
I also noticed that the GeForce 7600 GT has a higher rating and is more expensive than my GeForce 7600 GS. It does have
faster memory DDR3 against my DDR2 but only half the memory 256 MB against 512 MB.

You would think the 512 MB would add something to the score?

I get a 4.6 and a 5.4 with an old GeForce 6600GT with 128 MB. Go figure.

I guess the type of memory is much more important than the size of it.
I know the clock speed is also a factor but don't know much about that.:(
