    Mine is basically identical to that. It runs Vista flawlessly.

    Just ran it:
    Processor: 4.8
    Memory(RAM): 5.1
    Graphics: 2.0(?)
    Gaming Graphics: 3.3
    Primary Hard Disk: 4.8

    I have no idea why the Graphics rating is so low, but it drops my Base Score to 2.0. Anyone able to clue me in?

    hey ducks, do not use the nvidia go driver from dell, gave me a score of 2, plus aero ran slow, eg delay to minimize windows.

    i used driver that microsoft installs automatically, then i got an update from windows update and score went up to 3.4
