I have the RC1 build of Windows Vista running on an old-ish machine at work – the machine has 512 MB of RAM, which means that my Windows Experience Index is a measly 2.9. Given that, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the OS is quite zippy, and not to mention extremely fun to use! It’s very exciting to see how much the performance and polish are improving with every build. You can download RC1 from here.

I don’t understand: Pentium 4 3 Ghtz, RAM 1Go, NVidia 6200 and only 2.2. Lowest is not about hard drive. Can you explain to me?
RichardC,
Your score is determined by the minimum of all of your subscores. The Windows Vista team blog has a great post that describes how the score is calculated and what it means: http://blogs.technet.com/windowsvista/articles/458117.aspx.
