So are most of these scores desktops?
If they are, that means my laptop is amazing.

My rating went down after installing Windows 7. I'll do my tune-ups and then see if it will make a difference.

To install a custom theme you must patch the uxtheme.dll file (there are two other files as well on Vista) to allow you to use un-signed Visual Styles. The ones on DeviantArt are no different, and they should not require any software, just the modification of these Windows files (and a restart). Royale (the theme in question) is actually signed by MS though (and works without these mods, at least on XP), because it was an official theme which was leaked.

Also, I would love to test my new comp to see my score in Windows 7, but I just got Vista 64 running and I don't want to install beta software / reformat my drive.

Iy's a harddrive flaw because windows automatically sets on caching or something, if you turn it off you will see a much better score.

Wait, turn what off?
