Window Experience Index Scores

[johngalt]

lol - I decide to take the plunge and buy the machine parts for the current build on April 26 - and when they started coming in I felt the same way....

Then I did a step up on my video card, then I bought another one to match it, then I go the dual 22" WS LCDs, ...

it never stops, my friend - it never stops.

Where are these more elaborate WEI from?

Yeah, I had the same question but...

Hi Ted,

Don't have an AMD processor, but have you tried increasing the speed a fraction?

My Intel E8400 runs at a tad below stock at 2990mhz - a lot of guys run the clock at 400mhz to match the RAM speed and the CPU runs at 3.6ghz no extra voltage or cooling needed.

Haven't tried it myself - IMO the HD is almost always the slowest component. Even a high WEI for the HD is relative - just means it's good for an HD.

When will your new setup be ready ?:D

When I was using my Athlon x 5200+, at 2.6GHz it got a 5.0 rating, and when I overclocked it a bit to 2.8GHz, the rating was up to 5.3.

Hello SIW2 and Everlong.

Unfortunately the BIOS for this HP OEM (almost hehe) machine has NO options for adjustment; it's locked at what it is. Thank you both for the suggestions though.

I hope to finish the new machine in the next month or so; I'm just taking my time.
I keep getting sidetracked; like today I installed XP to the lineup and I've spent most of the day rounding up drivers. I'm just having a good time goofing around. I do want to get the new "toy" finished though.

I hope y'all are having a good time also; keep looking up!

Hi Ted,

Shoulda said you were looking for XP drivers - everything you'll ever need is here :

Hello SIW2

I tell you, you're a wealth of Windows knowledge; thank you!

btw: XP is strange after Vista and 7. Just my two cents; not trying to anger anyone.

heres mine. i dont understand why the cpu is so low..
amd athlon 64 x2 6400+ @ 3.2ghz
2x 2gb ddr2 800mhz dual channel
2x 80gb western digital sata raid 0
msi nx8600gt 256ddr3
asus m3n hd/hdmi

 

[Bellerophon]

Here are mine for my 'business' pc running Vista Ultimate x64. Shame about my CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition (o/c'd @ 3.2GHz) didn't think it would be that low.

 

[pooch]

Here is a tip for all you budding enthusiasts who want a high WEI,

When you make a change to your hardware such as speeding up the RAM or as in my case applying the TLB patch for a Phenom. Then go to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore and delete the XML files relating to your score, before updating your WEI

Small changes such as these are otherwise not normally recognised

well i went and had a look at mine i got 5.9

bit dissapointed cos i started with a 3.5g cpu quad pike then a 1tb hdd tuck then a 8g ram somersault but i think i failed with the floppy drive entry but gained a better score through a degree of difficulty of hd3850 dvi 512m

oh well better luck next time ...lol...i might defrag the judges !!!

ps. specs well go look

 

[vw151]

This was with the process OCed to 3.75ghz just using the evga dummy clock settings. It scored a 5.7 at stock settings.

 

[Airbot]

Hi vw151,

Welcome to Vista Forums and nice score.

 

[Clevo]

Min actually dropped a .1 from when I first did the score. From 5.6 to 5.5. It dropped my RAM score.... hehe
