Hardware Configuration for the Perfect 7.9 Windows 7 Score

boogieboy · 16 Mar 2011

After upgrading to 4GB RAM from 2GB my score jumped from 5.5 - 5.9 but after upgrading from WD Caviar Blue 16MB to WD Caviar Black 32MB it's 5.9 still

Examine the details/info of the photo. That was never photoshopped or edited in any way.. I'm really hoping this isn't a surprise to anyone...it's one of the reasons why WEI became such a joke.

My hard drives hold me back I have 8 cores and 36GB gives me a 7.7. I have a cheap gfx card at 7.4 but my 4 hard drives a RAID10 only clock 6.2.

There is better preformance from AHCI or RAID mode, use Raid, they are basically the same as far as performance goes.
You don't have to have any drives in a RAID array, they will be seen as a non-RAID drive.
This is changed in BIOS, follow this tutorial to change it.

AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 after OS install

The Intel RST driver for your chipset:

Intel Rapid Storage Technology
