    Hi,
    when I had Windows Vista, the Windows Experience Score rated my computer somewhere above 4.0.
    after formatting and installing Windows7, the rate is 2.0, having the HD rated as the weakest link - all other components rated above 4.0.

    what could this mean?

    Read this from PC World website:

    Speed Test: Windows 7 May Not Be Much Faster Than Vista
    Though Windows 7 edged out Vista in our lab tests, you may not notice much of a difference.

    "Although we have yet to confirm it, PC World Test Center Director Jeff Kuta notes that this difference may be due to updated hard-disk drivers in Windows 7."

    I already note this "slowdown" in one PC in my office and also it seems regarding hard disk access...
