The point is that you can use this software to see how well a system will like Vista. Maybe thats useless to you but alot of people might like to know.

No, its not useless... well wait, I know what it will and wont support...
My only reason I asked cause you didnt give any explination to people who might not know what a "Vista Assesment Tool" does...

They gave my AMD/ATI system "better". Can't wait until tomorrow when my new system comes so they can tell me that my Intel/Nvidia system is "best"

Yeah... but people are too stupid to realize some things...
Heres the short down
1.X Ghz or higher
75 GB HD
Direct X 9 video card with Pixel shader 2.0
512 MB or more memory...
Outside that, look up your mobo manufacturer and any add-on cards you have and you should be golden.
Currently allot of the HTPC Drivers are in Beta, and I havent heard much about Vista Media Center Eddition... So I will sit back for that one...
As far as my gaming rig... BRING IT ON!
hehe

nVidia's 6800 sieres card was the first to put in SM3.0 but it was shotty. So you'd need the 7xxx series.

Sure enough the new system passes "best" tests. I too noticed this:
You Have: 2.39 (gotta get a cooler so i can oc this bad boy) GHz Performance Rated at 3.59.
Could this be an official AMD rating of a core 2 duo compared to an X2 setup?
IE, A64 @ 3.59ghz= C2D @ 2.39ghz?

Definatly not, it has to be paired againast an old intel setup. Daul core AMD setup should have a comparison around 2.75Ghz for a stock 2.4Ghz E6600.
