I don't think it's possible to get over a 6.0 without an SSD. That said, your computer looks like it should be a nice running unit.....so I wouldn't fret much over that one WEI score.
I've joked about people having "WEI envy" before......worrying more about how their specs compare to others' than how well the machine actually runs.
Since I built my current machine back In end of October 2010, my RAM was downclocked by my motherboard to 1066MHz with 8-8-8-20 timings. So, yesterday, I asked over at the Gigabyte forum how should I run my RAM at default factory settings. So, after setting the Uncore at 20x, the Memory Multiplier to 10x, the DRAM Timing Selectable (SPD) to Expert and manually input all the timing for all 3 stick (set to 9-9-9-24)... I re-ran my WEI
OLD :
NEW :
Yep, the result is that my RAM gained a .2 in WEI XD Now, to see if it will be stable. If it isn't, I'll just revert everything.
*goes over and change his System Specs*
Just thought I would share my new build, mostly because I was quite surprised by the increase. My old system was a Core 2 Duo E6750, with 4gig RAM and an MSI mobo. The previous score was 6.1 - 6.4 - 7.3 - 7.3 - 7.1. My new system is in my sig, but the difference in the motherboard alone really shows. My HD went from being a 7.1 up to a 7.6 (thanks to my old mobo pre-dating AHCI mode) and the graphics card gaining 0.1. I'm actually very surprised that a ~2 year old graphics card still put in a 7.4 performance...
[QUOTE=essenbe;1361087]Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I don't have any of those options on my Gigabyte mini-ITX motherboard.
to others, the 4gb claims was being under 4gb ram auto gives you a 5.9 score, just like a traditional hard drives only give a 5.9 score. Unfortunately I still have a tiny bit reserved for my integrated video that isn't being used. at least I assume that is the case as it used to say it. I did chose pci-e as my primary display, but it still seems to reserve a small amount anyway.
