I don't see the need to upgrade to it on this PC anyway really, when I get my next laptop it will probably have it on anyway by the time I get round to buying one.
Me three.

IMO it looks like they swing a few tests to encourage you to buy stuff, funny how everything fails on the gfx card!
FFS we've got vista beta running on crappy 800mhz pcs with dog crap onboard gfx and it runs well enough

Graphics card is so you can run aero.
Vista doesn't need such a beast of a pc to run as people think.
Although to get any of the fancy stuff to run at decent speeds you need it to be a bit faster.

I think it's swayed slightly towards you having an ATI card

all our new dell pcs we buy at work are marked vista ready, and they just have rubbish intel extreme onboard graphics, that test is conning you into buying a card, praying on peoples lack of knowledge and trying to scare them into buying stuff.
if it were independant then fair enough

mine passed min but failed the rest on GFX card
On the CPU part, whats the performence rating and how does it differ from the first figure it gives. (ie mine says You Have 1.60 GHz performence rated at 2.60 GHz)?
