My Aero rating is 3.4. The rest of my ratings are 4. Is this Areo rating
decreasing my overall performance? If so how can I increase the rating? |

I believe that as long as your graphics scores are above 3.0, then Aero
offers all that is available to you. Aero in general is an additional layer of eye candy, so it will ding system performance on it's own. The rating simply decides that Aero can run without causing a noticable difference in performance. "J-man" wrote in message ... My Aero rating is 3.4. The rest of my ratings are 4.

The first thing I did was turn off all the unnecessary eye candy, tweak the services (Black viper's Vista Services Tweaks), shut down indexing, and got a 5 rating on everything (mid-range computer). It looks like W2K and acts more like WXP (sigh, I wish). Aero is beautiful at first but gets old quickly when it slows the system down even slightly. Just my 2 cents worth. |
