Seems weird that you'd score less than me, we've almost got identical machines.

Dual Opteron 2222SE (3.0ghz), 8800GTS 640, Seagate 146gb 15k SAS, 16gb memory..... very strange

 

[BobF]

Your running 3Ghz, mine is 2.4!

Whoops, I see that now...... sorry. I really don't understand how the whole WEI works anyway. At some point, fast is fast- my computer does what I want it to do and then some.

What WEI does is make you feel inadequate and there for you go and spend money on upgrading your PC just so you can get a 5.9 and feel like you have a "big rig".

But really they have a "small rig" if you know what I mean/ :D

I wonder what will Qualify as a 6.0 or higher when they Define those Scores. But for now I am happy with my 5.5

W.E.I. scores, by design, cannot exceed 5.9

This is mine

I believe he is referring to when the limit is raised... it is set at 5.9 now, but as new "functionality" becomes available the maximum score will raise

Here is mine:

5.7, very respectful. Mine is a 5.5, memory speed is my lowest score. Using DDR2-800 modules (4 x 1GB), but I think the bus speed is holding me back. Can't tweak the bus speed or clock speed on my system, no options in the BIOS

I have a score of 5.7. The bottleneck is my HDD, which has the 5.7 score. All others are 5.9. Seems fair enough I guess.

 

[panais]

For c:\ hdd i have raptor 150GB 10.000 rpm thats why i get 5.9

RAID will net you 5.9 for the OS drive as well.

As in RAID 0?
What are the benefits to that setup?

 

[JayClericus]

Got a new PC, 5.4 seems ok

AMD Athlon 64 x 2 6000+ Processor
Asus M2A HDMI Motherboard
Corsair XMS2 800mhz, 4Gb of Matched Memory
1Terrabyte of Storage (2 x 500MB Matched SATA II Hard Drives in Raid Zero Configuration)
Geforce 8800 512Mb GDDR3 Graphics card (Dual DVI)
20 x DVDRW +& - Dual Layer

Plus a few xtras like decent monitor etc

Well, you get a lot more speed with two controllers responding to a data request. The down side, which I've learned from direct experience recently, is that if something major happens with one drive you're pretty much SOL.
