Windows Experiance Index in Vista

[JonnyGeee]

Is this a reliable way to show is a good spec? I was looking to upgrade my system after installing Vista, but it seems by my scores that i shouldnt need to?

Processor 4.0
Memory 4.6
Graphics 5.9
Gaming Graphics 5.9
HD 5.3

My current spec is a Pentium 4 3.06, i'm running 2GB corsair 557mhz ram and an ati x1800xt 512mb.

Is it "worth" upgrading when the WEI suggests "Computers with a base score of 5 were the highest performing computers available when Windows Vista was released" ?

CPU 5.2
Mem 4.7
GFX 5.9
G GFX 5.8
HDD 4.8

Dell XPS 1710
C2D 2.33
2 Gig o' ram
7950GTX
160 Gig HDD (only 5400 though)

Resonable for a laptop I think
