Nice scores AeroZ, MdM & nice build Wishmaster (been following thread).

Re posting my WEI score (system built in March 2011).

Nice scores MdM and Iownamoneypit. Congratulations. I haven't posted mine since I upgraded a little a few months ago. Since everyone else is, here's mine.

 

[MdM]

Thanks guys, your scores are awesome though, I wish I had more money but that was the best I could afford

MdM, your scores are quite good and well balanced. WEI is not a measure of performance and was never intended to be. It has just evolved into a bragging rights contest, thus the purpose of this whole thread. As long as your computer will do what you need it to do, that's all that matters. As far as I'm concerned, the real purpose of WEI is that it can show if something is very wrong with a particular part of your computer.

Yeah it's pretty good, no problems so far and it's still going fast and smooth since the first install. I still wish I had more money though, my 1TB HD is slowly and painfully dying. If it survives I'm buying one of those Western Digital USB 3.0 external HDs for Christmas, unless any of you do not recommend it

Anyway, I agree with you, I just posted it to update over my previous one, but even if it had a lower score I'd still love and be proud of my son....hrmm I mean my beautiful PC

Sorry hit the wrong image file. Here's the right one.

Nice numbers Smoke. Looks like a very nice rig.

Ok so I just built a new budget rig for the lounge using an AMD A6-3650

The cpu is not overclocked and the scores for the graphics are from the processors built in graphics.

I have to say I am very impressed with it seeing as it only cost £83.

Now that's great scores ! Congrats on your new rig.

Those are great scores Paul. Congratulations on the new rig.

Thanks Stalker

Thanks Steve, I ended up putting windows 7 on, got the SSD in AHCI mode now and managed to install the correct AMD drivers for the graphics so it's running properly.


Paul.

Great scores Paul, nice rig

 

[paulpicks21]

Thanks guys, It genuinely feels as fast as my main rig, no doubt due to the ssd.

The full spec is -

A6-3650 CPU with HD 6530D Graphics
8GB DDR3 1600mhz
Gigabyte GA-A55M-S2V mobo
Corsair F60 SSD

The SSD, case and psu were spares I had so the total for the system cost me £166

I also bought a new 19" widescreen for it at a cost of £64


A great PC for the price really.

Hmmmmmm. Spare SSD? Showoff.
If I didn't need my old VAIO desktop to run my wide-body impact, I think I'd gut it for a rebuild. I could probably salvage a few connectors.

Paul knows that they will be collectors items one day.

He's an updated WEI. I installed my windows on a SSD, this made my primary hard disk rating go up from 5.8/5.9 to 7.2. I'm happy with the upgrade and also reboot and boot times are easily less than half what they used to be on the HDD

 

[A Guy]

Nice bump, but even if running on SATAII, you should have a better score? Did you set it to AHCI?

[essenbe]

A Guy is right for once. As he said make sure you are in AHCI and check your alignment. Either that or download As SSD. Open it and select your SSD. You don't have to run the test, just post a screenshot. It will answer both of those questions.
