Here is my Windows Experience Index score. Frankly speaking, I think they are the most useless thing in Windows Vista.

Anyway my system specs are:
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ Dual Core 2.0 GHz
Nvidia 8800GT 512MB
OCZ Gold 2GB RAM 800MHz DDR2
Hitachi 500GB SATA HDD and Samsung 80GB SATA HDD
Auzentech X-plosion Dolby Digital DTS 7.1 Sound Card
Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 External TV Tuner

One thing I'm really impressed with is the Media Center. With my TV Tuner, it's the best TV software I've seen so far.

Also I haven't had much of a problem with newer games, but I know my processor is a bottleneck on the video card. I'm waiting for the prices to drop on the AMD Phenom quad cores.

Also Windows Vista has these improvements over XP in terms of Video Card and Audio drivers which somehow makes the games and movies look and sound much better than XP on the same hardware (I have dual boot: Vista and XP).

So I'd highly recommend Windows Vista to people, provided they have the right hardware for what they want to do with their computer.

Also having a good video card is a MUST have to play any game smoothly on Vista, a good processor with mid range video card will not suffice.
