Someone has deleted this thread.

previously this thread address was :
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51842

Why This thread was deleted Can Somebody Explain ?!

This thread reached 5 pages & is important one for windows vista
users.

I am not here to fight with anybody but deleting a thread that is useful
& has reached 5 pages made me disappointed. How can anybody delete
a thread like this?

Also some of the other members post also deleted like - gx_saurav, assasin,vimal_mehrotra, ashu_dps, Rollercoaster, Ch@0s, techno_funky, aravind_n20 ,niraj trehan, varkey, niraj trehan, iMav, Kniwor , nvidia8800,

Also to those who made this thread a fight club like thing -
don't make this thread a personal fight club, This forum has a separate section for that.You can discuss all of your debates there. Also don't post things like why you're not getting bleeding performance with your behemoth rig. Just post your vista Experience Index Ratings.
So that might help others who want to use vista with similar hardware & measure how well vista will run on theirs computer.

I am sorry if my words hurts anybody in here but I just want to keep this thread clean & don't want a messed up thread with many off topic things.

I think you the sincere guys could understand what I want to say.......


I am starting this thread again...........................................

Members post your windows vista experience ratings in this thread

Do mention the following Things:

1. The default score after installation and the score after tweaking & over clocking

2. Hardware Details such as -

Motherboard, Processor, Amount & type of Ram, Graphcics card or Onboard graphics, Screen Resolution.

3. Windows Vista Version - I'm adding this point as Vista Sp1 is on doorstep
..................................................................................................
