Show Us Your WEI [3]

No problem Lasse,

I thought it was best to continue sorting the problem by PM so we didn't clog this thread up any further with your problem.

I am really glad the older drivers have fixed it and it's now running as it should.

Great scores all round now!

Good scores for your new rig Boshko.

 

[StalkeR]

Thanks Paul and Steve !

Thanks to Paul I finally got my scores where they need to be. Problems was that the newest gpu drivers were not working in my computer so with older ones I was able to get the gpu working properly. I would have attached the benchmark results as well but the file type can not be uploaded here. I guess the WEI scores speak for themselves though.

Thanks to everyone who helped along the way

Now you're talking Good help Paul, + Rep

After my upgrade here is my WEI.

Thanks Bill. For 100 Euros, that's pretty good.

I'll say that's very good.

Well worth the money and time Boshko, nice job.

Nice numbers Stalker. With integrated graphics, the system reserves some of your ram for graphics use, and it is not available to the system. Thus the score lower than you expected.

Thanks Steve, and yes, you're right. I forget that.

There is something wrong with your RAM score since you are using a DDR3 Ram which should score at 7.2 to 7.9. Even my celeron 877 Sandy Bridge 11.6" netbook with DDR3 Ram scores 7.2

Do you think 1 more stick of 4GB will help ...?

Since It will run as dual channels .

 

[Dave76]

Yes, dual channel scores will be higher than single channel, the performance will improve.
Try to get the exact same RAM card as you have now, even then it can't be guaranteed to be compatible.

Download CPUZ and check the SPD tab to get details on your current RAM.

Oh I didn't realize that you are running with only 1 stick. You should get another 4 GB of RAM of exact same specs (doesn't have to be the same brand). As for my netbook, I replaced the original slower 2GB DDR3-1066 MHz RAM with 2 x 4GB Corsair PC3-10666 DDR3-1333 MHz 9-9-9-24 Latency for $45 shipped. The difference on the performance from swapping RAMs is like night and day. I can have 20 tabs in IE9 (including online browser games) while playing music, working with MS word, excel, powerpoint all at once without slowing down. Even though I won't ever reach 75 % RAM usage, the most important thing is that Windows does not have to write much in the paging file so there is no performance hit. One more thing, make sure that the RAM voltage is compatible with your laptop.

My original : 4.00 GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz

Thinking of buying this ...?? Faster speed ..??

I can only use 1 stick though ... Sony has it built in 1 , so i have only 1 slot to use ..!!

 

[Britton30]

No, it would still be single channel, 665MHz, but having more DRAM may help some.

Can you post the CPUZ SPD and Memory tabs for the RAM in the laptop now?

Unusual to have one slot built in and one normal slot.

According to a review, it is the same RAM frequency as the RAM you posted. You need to check the timings and the voltage of the 'onboard' RAM, the CPUZ SPD tab will give that info.
If the voltage on the new RAM is different it may not be compatible.

DDR3-10600 is actually 667MHz in single channel, dual channel it will be 1333MHz.

Crucial® Memory Advisor results for the Sony VAIO VPCSE23FX/B Laptop/Notebook.

I double checked ...there is only 1 slot ..

I think it's ridiculous that Sony would put a fast core i5, discrete graphics, IPS LED Full HD display, and only ONE RAM SLOT!
