Just noticed the windows experience index limit has been increased from 5.9 to 7.9
I score 5.3 (due to scabby hdd I used for test install)
7.4 for cpu though which is nice.
anyone else?

sorry to hijack this for a minute, but this is the only thread i could find regarding windows 7
i am using win7 beta 7000 ultimate x32, all my drivers seem to work though my hdd transfer rate has dropped (sits around 100mbps transferring drive to drive)
i think it is a major improvement from a xp/vista user and especially considering its still beta is rather impressive.
but the few problems i am having is the all too common xf-i drivers, there are none to support win7, it will not work in compatibility mode nor run as admin, i enabled the onboard sound on the 790i ultra and i was horrified at the quality, also i only had the two front channels instead of 5.1, i have tried fiddling with audio settings in control panel but no luck with 5.1?
and with the gaming side of it, has anyone using the o/s experienced problems with the installs of certain games?
if anyone has figured any of this out or can point me in the right direction that would be great!
hope yall enjoyed new years!
regards,
Rick.

I have the X-Fi Gamer edition and the driver gave me trouble as well.
I downloaded the X-Fi Gamer edition Vista 64bit version from creative.com
When the download was finished I right-clicked the .exe and put compatibility mode to Vista and it installed flawlessly
The sound is perfect too, if you still have any trouble PM me, and then I can probably help you, hope this already helps

Friend: Do you have a spare PSU lying around?
Me: No why?
Friend: My PSU just blew up, I think the second 8800GTX might have been too much for it to handle
Me: what PSU was that again?
Friend: Antec 480w
Me:........
I'm using these drivers Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series Driver 2.18.0008 and only 2 channels work in my W7 setup.
I used the intel 9.1.0.1012 drivers and I ran the install and it worked without needing compat mode.
here's my score... the hd bench is a joke... I have my windows 7 install on the first parition of my 2TB array...

Dont know what chipset you have.
You can force intel inf to install with the parameters -overall -overide on setup.exe
Other chipset .exe you can try running in vista mode to make installer running.
For HD performance there are some settings in device manager and choose your HD and enable the write caching(?) that is disabled by default.
From what i heard this is the fastest OS for benching and i can belive that.

Everything extra is bad!
Win 7 beta x64, build 7000...
The only score that surprised me was the disk performance...it's running on a RAID0 array, but I figure they've made room for the superior access times of SSD's in the new scheme.
@Souix: What chipset do you have?
@rickvtv6: Drivers for my X-Fi Extreme music work fine in "Vista compatibility mode" but I only have headphones, so I can't verify surround sound performance.

if i use compatibility mode on ANYTHING i get a stupid error 0x0000005 in a dialog box, if i try i manually in device manager, update driver, it finds the driver, starts installing it, then says the driver missing?
ok i figured it out, in the driver u d/l from crapative, i went into driver/sbxf/setup.exe it seemed to manually force the install and win7 showed the unsigned driver, clicked yes install and bam. i will try i out when i get back from work crossing fingers i will at least have 2.1 as i like my doof doof.
has anyone got 5.1 to work yet?
also where do u ppl finl ultimate x64 v7000 i could only find x32?
oh and my index rating is 7.3 - 5.5 - 6.5 - 5.9 - 3.0??? my hdd is 3.0? wtf! lol damn these benches
i just cant get over how fast it boots, no more waiting to load crap, its awesome.

i got it woring but i think my xf-i card has pooed itself, it is sitting between 2 98gx2's that create alot of heat, basically b4 i went to win7 i had vista ult x64, and only about 3 weeks ago when i was playing a game it started making high pitch hissing sounds and popping then the sound would cut out all together then fade in and out especially when there was a loud sound like an explosion in crysis. creative care just gave me the usual bull.
but it works perfect with movies and music, just gaming?? maybe the xddr is crapped?

well i finally got 5.1 working, i set up the xf-i drivers and then done the settings in the volume panel to what i want it then rebooted, went into sound settings control panel, highlight the sound blaster output then select configure at the bottom, from there you can set up 5.1 bla bla bla. it works cos i got my doof doof 15" working again
will they have dream scheme in win 7? i wish it would play personalized videos of your choice that would be potential.
good to see they extended the file types for movies in media player, still wont play .vob files tho

If you got the Intel inf to install, can you check your device manager and see if you have a yellow ! next to System Interrupt Controller? I did. I ran Windows 7 X64 for 1 day and got rid of it as I couldn't play even 1 minute of Call of Duty WAW, as it would lock my entire system up.

i never bothered installing any drivers apart from the xf-i driver (eventually got it to work) everything was already done once i installed all updates and rebooted. mind you im not happy with my hdd transfer dropping, when i installed my chipset driver in vista i deselected a setting in system properties and it boosted my transfer rate, now i cant do that with win7.
as for your gaming issues
thats weird win7 should be "optimized" for the i7 chips like vista was for the quads, did you do the updates once you installed windows?
it should have installed some pre-release 17x.xx drivers for your gtx like it did for my 98gx2's,
or maybe try disabling your xf-i or better yet remove it and use onboard to see if that corrects the gaming issues?
it is still beta so i wouldnt expect too much with gaming but im hoping it will work as thats my main use apart from movies and music.
i haven't tried gaming on it yet as im rebuilding a work comp but hopefully try it tonight with crysis and bioshock.
mind you it doesnt help when you go over your bandwidth and your d/l is 7kbps trying to update xp.

I am curious to see what setup would get a perfect 7.9 across the board.
i think a descent ssd setup or RAM drive, 4870x2/gtx295 sli or the upcoming gtx350 Nvidia GeForce GTX 350 (Q4 2008) GT300-GPU 55nm PCI-E2.0 2GB GDDR5 512-bit

if that dont break it then what will?
oh btw did you have to do much to get your q9550 to 4ghz? i can only seem to get around 3.8 without lockups

go figure my quad sli setup scored 6.5 graphics, 5.9 for gaming? ppfft who needs windows benchmarks ne wayz
5.25 flux capacitor- whats this about?
the best i got was 3.8ghz, could game, occasional lockups though, now i just got it at the bios 5%oc cos i had probs installing vista agian then got hold of win7.
it would be good if my copy didnt have an error whenever used compatibility mode though.
have you played with gtlref voltages to get it there? i done my head in with them and gave up. plus i think i corrupted data through all the lockups a while ago.
