That score doesn't look that bad and besides, if it does what you need it to do then you have the perfect PC eh.

Hello Mattz, have you seen this tutorial at the link below?


AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista

Mattz, try the tutorial linked above, you won't have to re-install.

It works great.

I would switch to AHCI or RAID.

Thanks to Ted and Dave save My reinstall and push me to my goal WEI rating and beyond I gained from my 7.3 HDD rating to new 7.7 HDD rating from setting for AHCI WOW realy flying now My rating now is 7.4 which was my goal and when I get used to this ? I may be tempted to Juice up the Hardware for an OC run!!!

Looks good Mattz

What SSD did you get?

AHCI gave you a +.4, that's great

Congrats, glad it was a help.

Go figure, I went out and got the latest nVidia drivers for my GTX 295 yesterday and happen to look at my WEI experience today and Windows tells me I had a change in hardware and I should re-run.

I did and my graphics scores came down .3 points which now makes my video card the slowest performing component. So why would the drivers take it down? I did not expect updated drivers would impact the WEI ratings.

Any thoughts why this would happen?

Greg

Edit/Update: I un-installed that version of the nVidia drivers and the WEI score returned to the previous ranking. Still curious why the drivers have that kind of impact to the scores.
