Show Us Your WEI

[janno]

My WEI is now 5.9

my setup:

Asus P5B deluxe
2,40 GHZ Core 2 duo
4 GB PC6400 RAM
Asus eax1950pro (265 MB)
HD??? sorry, no idea...



i`m upgrading soon, this will be my new specs:

I7 930
Asus P6TD Deluxe
6GB PC16000 OCZ Platinum
XFX Radeon 5770 xxx
WD Caviar Black 500 GB, 7200 Rpm, 32 MB

it should be above 7 the next time I check in, but now i`m thinking of getting an SSD...

is this useful?

The specs look great, but the 500 WD Caviar will prevent you from getting past a 5.9 score. Get a good Intel SSD and that will put you over 7.

i`ve already changed it to this one:

WD Caviar Black 1 TB, 7200 Rpm, 64 MB, Sata III/600

just because most SSD`s are connected via Sata II, and thus the speed of your SATA connection is the bottleneck.
if i really want a good ssd setup, i would have to buy one with a PCI connection, and man, those things are just a little over my budget.

my new rig is already putting me back about €1.800, and that`s no pocket change...

and the second change is that i`m now going for 12 GB ram...

actually there are only a few ssds that can fully take avantage of the Sata 3 speed in the market right now
that caviar black wont give you as much boost as a sata 2 ssd (as you already know)
if you really want speed look at the pci-e ram disk implementations, those will last you and heck are they fast...

maybe in the near future there will be some affordable SSD`s that can take advantage of Sata III, untill then i`ll be using the WD so at least my pc isnt as slow as my current rig (2 years ago it was about the fastest you could get, time flies when your having fun)...

but your absolutely right that an SSD belongs in my new rig (not only for the WEI ofcourse)

STRANGE LITTLE WEI! 6.3 Across The Boaard EXCEPT Last 1

Is this weird?

 

[superjose]

Is this weird?

Lol. That´s funny. No is not weird, the last one will always be 5.9 if you have a 7.2k RPM hard drive or higher. The only way to achieve it higher, is by getting a SSD

That seems to be the average score for non-solid state drives, unfortunately my low is on my CPU, I wouldn't mind having your numbers.

I've only got a little one

Sort of a bummer how a RAID-0 Setup sores the exact same as a standard single drive setup - or else I would be right at ~7.3avg

Yeah, you should see the dragon I'm using right now; on second thought here it is.

Hah, I'm actually using this as my login: Soo beautiful!

P.S. I'm totally digging that dragon! =)

We better not use this thread for this though I started it. See you around mate!


I like that.

Thanks Barefoot kid,

Nice to be here stroking my little WEI
I've just been making myself a new avatar.
I think it needs a bit more work

So far, so good!

Was this with a Athlon x2 7750,



and just swapped it with a Athlon x4 630,



nice little increase in the WEI, and can definitely fell and see the difference in just about everything else.

I don't know your budget, but you would have been better off setting up an Intel 40 gig Value SSD as your primary OS/apps drive and then using the 2-500 drives as storage. That right there would be about a 7.3 score for hard disk.

Mine is 5.5 Must need a better HDD.

Oh, down the road I fully plan to do a RAID-0 with 2 SSD's, just funding for it isnt available - working on several other things at the moment - I've had these 2 500's for ages now, and they benchmark fantastically aside from them being HDD's
