Default 7 Experience Index

My Index rating would not complete with Vista graphics drivers installed. Without drivers i score an amazing 1 out of 7.9 or what ever it is now. what did others get?

Processor 1.2 <-- way short of vista which explains why Xvid videos stutter alot and goes ouf of sync. (theres an option in the dvd settings of wmp that lets you drop frames to keep them in sync which makes things watchable)
Ram 3.2
Graphics 2.0
Gaming Graphics 2.1 <-- ive noticed that the graphics drivers(Link) that allow you to run the test only display 1280x768 resolution resulting in games wanting to run in another resolution to fail e.g. GTA VC.

Hard Disk 1.9
