    Low CPU Index Score


    I ran the windows experience index assessment and got the following scores:

    CPU: 3.5
    RAM: 4.5
    GPU: 4.9
    Gaming: 4.6
    HDD: 5.8

    The system I am running is an ASUS W2jb laptop with intel 945PM express chipset.

    CPU: Intel Merom Core 2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz
    RAM: 2GB G-Skill PC-5300
    GPU: Ati mobility x1600
    HDD: 320GB WD scorpio

    My concern is with the CPU score, seems pretty low, according to other forums I should be getting around 5. Could it be because I am running 64-bit? I never installed any driver for the chipset/cpu, I'm just using whatever windows update got for me.

    try running the test again after a reboot. don't do anything while it's running, no not even a quick peep at a webpage.

    My video card is making me wonder too. I have the same issue. It should be scoring higher. The desktop-aero is 4.2?????? while the 3D and gaming is 6.3?????? I think the WEI is screwed up. I wouldn't worry but I would run it again without doing anything.

    I have the same issue on almost the same CPU platform. I was able to get in touch with Microsoft about this and they are currently investigating this.

    I'll point them to this thread. In the meantime, please run WinSAT test again from Advanced tools choosing the option to clear all previous results.

    I'll keep you posted on developments, and if they need your e-mail address I'll send a PM 2 U to get you in touch with them...

    Aero is processed in the GPU. One of the differences between the two scores. Your GPU is comparatively slow.

    Thats weird, I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor @ 2.0ghz and my CPU score is 4.6
    It may be your graphic card, but my scores for that are:
    Desktop Performance for windows aero: 3.2
    Gaming Graphics: 4.6
    I have a ATI radeon 3100....

    I think it's just an issue with WEI, perhaps an update in the future will fix this problem.

    Its the performance of your rig that matters .. if you're happy with it, then what is the significance of a number??
