QUOTE(winshoo @ Aug 15 2008, 08:30 PM) I just bought a new set comprising of : - Abit AN78GS (with NVIDIA 8200 chipset) - AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 5000+ (2.60 Ghz) - 2GB Memory - WD 640HDD My score is only 3.3, LOL. Although I am able to watch HD videos smoothly, Vista will change my Aero Theme to Basic temporarily until the video player exits. Anyone knows if this is NORMAL for NVIDIA 8200 chipset? [attachmentid=559796] I think that's quite normal since you only have built-in graphic chip. I have a separate PCI-E gc and Vista never switch to Basic theme when playing video... maybe it just saving resources to play the video...

it's got to do with the video playing software itself, nothing to do with Vista...

QUOTE(MojA_VieW @ Aug 17 2008, 07:35 PM) If I'm not mistaken, that means the application is detected as not compatible with Vista aero glass, so it switches to Aero basic. I used Visual Basic 6.0 that has some issues when running in Aero glass, so I set the compatibility to disable Aero glass, so when I run Visual Basic, it automatically switch to Aero basic and got message like yours... so it's certainly the player issue, and no, it won't affect your graphic...

Use Media Player Classic (or other alternative than WMP) and you'll save lots of system resources (CPU, RAM) when playing video files... WMP (and almost all commercial media players) consumes too much resources, it's such a waste... This post has been edited by FarCry3r: Aug 19 2008, 09:05 AM

You can't go over 5.9 but there are guides to haxxing the score numbers itself. But you're still stuck with the maximum 5.9 base score.
