You guys make me laugh. Too much emphasis is attached to all those nums and most people do not understand what they really mean and what the significance for their particular situation is. It is the same with the SSD measurements where people get all exited about a read speed of 400MB/sec at a very large blocksize where in fact they never see that blocksize.
So let the nums be nums and enjoy your system as is. If it runs without error, then are are a lot ahead of the game.
Wolfgang, I think they understand. But the numbers are also indicitive of relative performance, and people always want to one up the next guy. I have a 6.9 and it will likely never go any higher as it is my GPU, and I don't game. It does what I need, so it stays 6.9, lol. A Guy
Yeah Bill, we always want to keep up with the Jones next door. My fastest system for normal work (except video encoding) is actually a laptop with a WEI of 5.8 (because of the graphics). But that thing is lightning fast with an i5 and a Vertex. That taught me not to put too much importance on the nums.
