Help us with Issue 2 of the magazine, by going to our forums and telling us what your Windows Experience Index score is.

If you're not sure how to find out what your score is, go to Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance. Under the System heading, click on Check your computer's Windows Experience Index base score.

If you don't already have a base score in the right hand area, click Update my score on the bottom right.

By finding out your WEI score, you can see how individual areas of your computer's hardware are performing and if you're getting a low score, Windows Vista will tell you how to improve your rating.

Please vote in this poll, and the results will be included in Issue 2, out 28 February.
