How do I find out the MAC address on my laptop?
-
I bought a new laptop to run Vista, because I don't want to mess with my current PC. I need to find out the integrated wireless MAC address, so I can put it in the MAC address filter on my router. By the way, I have a 3.3 score of vista experience point, is it high or low? Thanks

Higher than a 2, lower than a 4

The maximum you can get is 5 unless I am mistaken. The overall points are *NOT* an average of the individual scores but the lowest scoring subsection. Your machine seems to be fairly old, my AMD 2400+ scores 3.3 also and that is some years old now. Hope that helps.
Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
I'm coloured, yet clear.
I'm fruity and sweet.

Hmmm. The system my client sent me has a 5.4 rating. Marc

From the Windows Vista help info: "The base scores currently range from 1 to 5.9. The Windows Experience Index is designed to accommodate advances in computer technology. As hardware speed and performance improves, higher base scores will be introduced. However, the standards for each level of the index stay the same. For example, a computer scored as a 2.8 will remain a 2.8 unless you decide to upgrade the computer's hardware." A 3.3 will run Aero glass. The 3.3 represents the lowest scoring item on the system, it's not an average. You could have a Core 2 Duo T7600 with 4 gigs of RAM and a 120 GB 7200 RPM hard drive, and if the graphics is an integrated card with, say, 128 MB RAM, your system scores based on the video, which is likely to be the lowest item on the system. For what it's worth, most laptops aren't likely to score that high, with the exception of high-end gamer/media center laptops. You need a good dedicated GPU with 256+ MB and all high-end accessories to get into the 4+ range. My brand new Toshiba only gets a 3.1 - it's geared for business so it has a 128 MB Quadro card.

The 3.3 is the base socre, which is the lowest score out of all the tests. That 3.3 is from the 3D gaming graphics, other scores like processors and memory have 4.9 and 4.5. It's a laptop afterall, 2GHz C2D/2GB RAM/GeForce 7400 Go

When I built my laptop on HP site, I chose the GeForce 7400GO with 256MB RAM, but on the nvidia display driver, it says only 128MB dedicated memory! X|
