SIM score

What is it and how is it calculated

In Multiplayer, on the Score screen, the SIM score is displayed.  This score changes based on certain things, and we believe it is the relative power of your pc on the map you are playing at the time.  How is it calculated? I have a 10 most of the time but I have seen it as low as 8, and there have been games with people that are unbearable to play with lower scores but some laggy with higher scores as well.  Anyone know for sure whats taken into account?

cpu, videocard, an memory.  Just make sure you are above simspeed 2 and you should be all set.   If anyone is below 2, the game is too laggy and I usually just disconnect.

This information needs to made available PRIOR to launching the game.  You should be able to boot people that are under a certain sim score or prevent them from joining entirely.
