Vista - "Up and Running" on new PC

OK, so the OS is loaded, along with most of the basic apps that I can't live without. A 'Full Drive' backup has been taken, and e-mail, iTunes, Dreamweaver etc are all configured to work with the 2nd SATA drive (Moved over from the old PC).

The general feel of the machine is superb, in situations where my old PC would freeze for a second or two, or iTunes would stutter playback etc, it has just kept on ...

The 'Windows Experience Index' before and after is as follows







OLDNEW
CPU3.95.3
RAM4.24.2
2D 5.04.5
3D 3.44.4
HDD5.35.9


The RAM score is a little disapointing considering both machines have 2G, but the old one is 233 and the new one is 533..!
