Show Us Your WEI (2)

Here's mine upgraded:

Good numbers

Here is my updated Vaio Laptop score just after I installed a OCZ Vertex2 240gb SSD. My old score was a 5.9 with a 5,400 rpm HDD.

Great lappy numbers

If you mean that your USB flash drive has 1/2 of a GB then no it is not worth using at all. But if you mean it has 5GB's then yes it will help. Ready boost is not as effective as adding regular RAM to your system. But it does help yes. So anything you can get will help. The only thing that RAM (Ready boost also) helps with is loading & running programs that is it. It does not help online or anything like that. It only helps run programs better. If you are not already using all of your RAM when you do things then you probably should not worry about it. But then again I use my ready boost also. I never really need to. But because I have it I do. Just in case it will always be there. About your Kingston problem. I can not help you. But I hope what I do know helps.

Thanks, But it is a 128GB Flash Drive, I could give 50GB of it up for ready boost if that would help. I only use about half of my 4GB of RAM at idle, My question was really does the readyboost being as it is on a flash drive (SSD kind of thing) does it work like the Hybrid HDD's, which has a spinning disk as well as 4GB SSD that boosts performance?

Holy cow 128gb usb drive, man that wasn't cheap! It should work dandy as a RB device. I can't speak for the formal in's and out's of how it works but I can tell you it will make a difference but don't look for mind blowing changes like a SSD drive would make, but if your not using all of that pen then give it a whirl !

Thanks, My 256GB lash drive came t day as well so I should e able to use the whole 128GB off that first flash drive , if that is I can sort the format out.

I've never had any need for Ready Boost....I've never even gone over 50% usage of my 4GB of RAM.:huh:

yea I agree, My 4GB is always at 50%. I was just trying to find out if readyboost is similar to the ssd on hybrid hard drives.

I'm really not sure, to be honest.

Thank you for replying all the same.

My WEI has gone down from a 4.9 to a 4.3 now it is down to a 4.2 my system said it found new hardware to run my assessment again. When it did it went from 4.3 to 4.2. The first time I ever ran it. It went up. Now I installed this new hard ware the audio and video drivers. And it went down. Well my desktop performance for windows aero went down. But that might be because I put all my settings down in my video setting right. That would mean that aero is not really even running at all.

Big improvement since putting in a GTX 580

Do you hve any transparency? preview in the task bar, snap in when you drag a window near top or sides? if you have turned all these off then aero could still be running just not showing it's features.
Sorry to hear your scores have dropped, if you have installed new video drivers they should be from ATI website, I know you have Windows 7 x64 so be sure drivers are correct. If Windows installed drivers then you may no get the ful power of your graphics card. Right click on the desktop to see if ATI Catalyst is still working. Also if ATI CCC is running, have a lok under the3D settings to see if defaults have been restored, Then turn everything back to "Performance".

Great Scores there, Nice to see that £400 gets full marks. I'd expect no less from a GTX 580.

 

[Chiumiento]

Yes they do still snap in. Also I did go and install the ATI update from the website. But I did kind of have a hard time figuring out witch update to use. Go look at the thread. My posts will be in the last page. Maybe the one before the last. But I am right at the end. Look and let me know on that thread If you think I might have installed the wrong one. Though it seems to be working fine. And all my settings are still at the performance level.

This is the web site link ATI Radeon
If you are just using 1 graphics card then its the top download which is the full package, be sure that there ar no errors on install. Some would even say to uninstall all previous versions of the ATI software and do a fresh install.

 

[Chiumiento]

Yes I have done the install already. But thank you.

wei update

update new graphics card and win 7 x64 raised my cpu and ram scores a little

 

[rap33042]

Here's my score as of 11-13-2010.
WEI is reporting DirectX 10 but I'm running 11- I read somewhere that was a bug in WEI...

 

[linnemeyerhere]

rap33042,
Like in shooting they say "Nice grouping" !

 

[rap33042]

http://www.sevenforums.com/member.php?u=77532It's funny- I've tried OC'ing the CPU; got it up to 3.00 Ghz; it didn't make any difference at all in the WEI score (so I just set it back to stock).
Now, why would that be?
