Vista System Performance Rating
I managed to install 'Windows Vista Ultimate' Beta 2 (Build 5384) on a Dell Precision work station 360. The machine was running a 3.2 G Hz Pentium 4 and had 1GB main memory and 80GB SCSI disk. It also had a NVIDIA Quadro Fx 500 display card with 128 MB graphics memory.
Pre Windows Vista, the above configuration can be considered 'good-enough' for normal usage. But I was surprised to find that the Vista gave it an overall System Performance Rating of just 2!
With this rating, Vista will not enable the 3D desktop features. I guess, 128 MB graphics memory is too little for Vista!

It uses the smallest whole number for the over all rating. In this case you have 2.6 which is pulling your rating down.
I am having the following:
2.4GHz (800FSB) --- 3.2
512MB DDR 400 --- 3.5
HDD 30GB/23MB 7200 PATA --- 3.6
Radeon 9500Pro --- 3.6
Gaming Graphics 256MB --- 3.9
I have the Overall rating of 3
