Not bad for not having a video card installed other then the MB. I put together one here recently (the guy wanted to use his old nvidia 256 Mb card—don't remember the series), and the best it would do was 2.1—just enough to get Aero—even with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5GHz processor. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion a4302f

Thanks Lee,
This is my 6th Windows 7 test computer install
My one x86 has a NVidia GeForce FX 5500 & only gets 2.3 on the WEI 
So I was relatively impressed by just tossing this together today.
I will let it run a few days before I start changing things. Burn-In time till RTM
