Windows 7 help says:
"The base score can help you buy programs that match your computer's performance level. The base score only pertains to the performance aspects of the computer that affect how well features in Windows and other programs will run on your computer, and doesn't reflect the overall quality of your computer"
A score from
- 1 to 3 may be considered poor.
- 3.1 to 5.49 considered fare.
- 5.5 to 7.0 good.
- 7.1 to 10 exceptional meaning you don't need hardware change for the next 2 - 3 years.
Tip: Having a Graphic card certainly help your PC rating but it may not be required by all. And Graphics is one of the areas of evaluation you might end up having a low base score, but that's perfectly okay if you do not intend to use high graphical applications such as Games and stuff.
