This is my new machine. I'm really proud of this configuration , it's not so affordable here.

What's up with the 5.1 for my 8GB memory?
I had 5.9 before on my ASUS Crosshair, but now 5.1 on my 780i?
Dat sux!
Anybody knows why?

here's my score, it might not be the best, but it'll get my job done:

 

[ikjadoon]

5.7 overall. Hard disk is holding me back. Everything is 5.9, except CPU which is 5.8. I guess you need a quad-core to get 5.9..

Im new here and thought I would join in the fun of posting scores.
My computer scores the following:
CPU 5.0
Ram 5.5
Graphic 5.9
3d gaming 5.4
hard drive 5.4


I had updated graphic drivers and thus the 3d graphic score went from 5.5 to a 5.4.. I hope they will fix that in the next release of graphic drivers. My computer runs like a dream. Also the ram memory ahs 2gb of my Dell ddr2 533mhz ram, and the other 2gb is the transcend 800mhz ram that a friend of mine is letting me borrow for a while

My computer specs are:
Dell XPS Dimension 410/9200 (DXP061)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86ghz
4gb DDR2 SDRAM
512mb ATI Radeon X2600XT
2x250gb Harddrives
Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit

I have just updated my bios to the latest version and my score went from 5.6 to 5.7:D

The processor is running slightly faster and the ram is what got the higher score.

Here is my WEI score. This is also my first post in the forums.

 

[amplid]

Here's my WEI. Dwarf or someone else, what's the shared system memory? 'Cause it's dragging my whole memory score down...

Nice systems everyone...:eek:

Hi amplid,

There are several reasons why your score is low. The first is the amount of memory in your machine. If you increase it to 2GB you should find that the subscore for your RAM should go up, although probably not by very much. As you have a 64-bit version of Vista, I would recommend that you increase this still further, to 4GB (or more, if your motherboard supports it). Where it will have an impact is with your graphics. Vista appears to allocate a memory space for graphics that is equivalent to half your RAM. This includes the amount of memory on the graphics card itself, so for a system that has a total RAM of 1GB (1024MB) and a graphics card with 256MB of on-board RAM that equates to a shared system memory of (1024/2)-256=256MB. The total graphics memory is therefore 512MB. The shared memory supplements the graphics memory, and is only used when required. Another limiting factor is your driver. You are using version 163.69. The current WHQL version is 169.25. Finally, your graphics card itself. This is quite an old model, and is in itself dragging your score down. To improve your score, I recommend that you replace your graphics card. My current card is a 7600GT and this, together with the 2GB of RAM that I have installed, gives me the figures in my previous post. Note that your score will not increase above 4.5 as that is the lowest score apart from your graphics scores. The only way to increase this would be to upgrade your processor.

Hey Brink

You got your card !!! COOL

Keep it up.

 

[Brink]

Thanks Ted.

Yeah, I couldn't see spending the amount they want on the new 9800's when they come out, from what I seen of their projected costs, for what I needed.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Yeah Brink Your kind of like me you want a good
card but you're not really a *gamer* but you want
to be able to maybe run a couple monitors and a HDTV
connection. You got a good card. I have been checking
them out, not bad for 50 over the 8600 I was looking at.
Because I'm going to get something here in a couple weeks.

Good deal buddy.
Later Ted

Thanks dwarf for the advice so far. I am indeed planning to replace my RAM memory. About the driver, a program told me that my audio card, system management and GeForce 6600 drivers were out of date, but when I went to my device screen in the CP, it said that all of my drivers where uptodate... Weird...

Thanks

Amplid

 

[Brink]

Hi Amplid,

You will need to get the latest drivers from the device's website instead of through Windows Updates.

For you GeForce drivers see:

Hope this helps,
Shawn

 

[amplid]

Ah ok, now it worked. Why does Vista give you wrong info like that?
And another question, the driver for my NVIDIA nforce PCI system management is outofdate too, but I don't know which driver to choose from the drivers on NVIDIA's site.

Thanks Brink!!
