<p><a href="http://cromwellhaus.com/blogphotos/SoWhatsYourWindowsExperienceScore_87C2/image.png"><img height="168" alt="image" src="http://cromwellhaus.com/blogphotos/SoWhatsYourWindowsExperienceScore_87C2/image_thumb.png" width="240" align="right" border="0"></a>Last week I was forced to replace a dying video card which was a piece-of-junk when I bought it, but, well, I&#8217;m cheap.&nbsp; I picked up an <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8600.html" target="_blank">NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT</a> and while not <em>the</em> best, it&#8217;s more than I&#8217;ll need.&nbsp; </p>
<p>When I built this rig, I picked up about the best available at the time.&nbsp; Looking at my latest Windows Experience Score, I&#8217;m sort of regretting not picking up the Intel 6800 Core 2 Duo, though it was significantly more expensive than the 6600 I&nbsp; did choose.&nbsp; I guess I can&#8217;t fault the decision based on the facts at the time.&nbsp; That said, my <a href="http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1530?c=us&amp;cs=19&amp;l=en&amp;s=dhs&amp;~ck=mn" target="_blank">Dell M1530</a> has the 6800 and I swear it&#8217;s a friggin&#8217; beast.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your score?</p>
