Why is my vista processor score so low?

I have an HP dv6500t notebook with a Intel Core 2 T7300 which only comes out as 4.5 on windows vista score. My friend alos has an hp notebook with one of the original core duo (I dont remember which on but its either 1.73 or 1.83 ghz). He said his score was 4.8 for his processor but I think he might have meant 3.8. Is this possible? and what the heck is the point of the scores

Answers:
man, forget scores, if your computer runs great you don't need scores, test your comp on real games and applications

if you using some testing programs, than that can give wrong result
if you mean that your overall windows experience index 'base score' is 4.5, this is because it's determined by the lowest scoring aspect on your machine.

you can have the greatest machine around in every sense, but put a poor graphics card in and your score will dive-bomb and your score will be whatever score is given to the graphics card by windows.
his computer prbly has better components then urs does, like more memory or a dedicated graphics card.
Because Vista is a resource hog, that can bring many normally fast computers to their knees due to the fact the excess eye candy you will need a powerful graphics card and at least 2 Gigs of ram, oh and gaming with it , good luck. I would stick with XP as newer isn't always better and Vista proves that.
