Could my WEI be improved

Yes, your graphics card seems to be in the lacking department.

I'm not sure why your 9200 scored 4.4, as my laptop with a geforce GO 8800 scored 6.4

 

[HannibalUK]

its about right for the system/hardware.

yours is much higher as yours as a better spec.

I have done several tests and found no problems with the graphics card or any other hardware, but baffled of why it is only sometimes that i can get the side by side windows to actually fill the screen.

 

[HannibalUK]

Sorry my friend i thought you were someone else LOL

so what you think the problem is of why my score is 4.4 like i said didnt find any problems when i ran tests.

 

[LiquidSnak]

Are you positive you have an NVIDIA 9200? Or is it a Radeon 9200?

My Wee score

View attachment 105037

Nice scores....almost identical to mine!

I would think your processor and video card scored higher (8800 gt vs Ge GT 220 SSC edition but both have WD black caviar drives and same amount and speed of memory

Here it is....

Could my WEI be improved

Yes your WEI score could be improved. But don't worry about improving your WEI score. If you are unhappy with the performance of your PC, then consider making improvements to address the deficiency. Improving your PC will also as a secondary effect, improve your WEI scores. If you are happy with your PC's performance, then do not worry about WEI. I'll always have a 5.9 unless I upgrade my HDDs, but since I am happy with my PC's performance, I won't anytime soon be changing to a SSD. If I do, when prices have fallen, it will be for the performance increase, and then as a happy coincidence, I'll have improved WEI scores.

Defo a nvidia 9200 intergrated 'nvidia Geforce' desktop pc

system is; ACER ASPIRE AX1301

In a quick google, looks like a 4.4 isn't unusual for a Geforce 9200. A Guy

think it shares the ram memory for video.

any tips for a better graphics card preferably under £100

 

[LiquidSnak]

I couldn't tell you how much you could find one for in the UK, but a GeForce 210 to a 450, or a radeon 5550 to a 5770 runs under 140 USD

 

[robbymcnob]

nvidia 8800gt if you can still find 1 much better than nvidia 220/240. I still like my old ATI 1950pro in my xp rig runs ace

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @3853MHz. Still trying to find a good tweak for my motherboard, shooting for 4 or 4.1GHz tho.

Have not mess with my RAM yet.

HDD (6.2) is my choke point as I am still using 2 WD Caviar Black 1TB RAID 0 with short stroking (150GB) to get to 6.2 or stuck at 5.9.

 

[LiquidSnak]

You'll be hard pressed to go above a low 7 with a platter drive. Good, solid scores though!

Good scores

Looks like it's time for that SSD

Yep, I had to cheat LoL to get to 6.2 by short stroking my Caviar in RAID 0. I think WEI would not get out of5.9 if the Access Time is above 10ms. Short Stroking dropped it down to 7.5ms.... WEI is so cheap and only give me 6.2 LoL

Good scores

Oh, trust me. I was at Microcenter today walking around the SSD show case about 200 laps. The large size is way too much per GB. Perhaps in a few months.

We just got back from vacation and I have about 90GB worth of AVCHD files from my camcorder and about 20GB worth of photos to go through. Spinning drives RAID 0 still give me performance I need (for now)

I need a single large SSD (who won't) since I can't RAID them as AMD on-board controller could not support TRIM (yet).

Still looking for an option, I may just get 128MB SSD for OS and get me a real RAID Controller Card and RAID my spinning drives.

Depending on your software load, you can get by with a much smaller SSD.

I've got a 40GB SSD with 19GB used. Just keep all of your data, pics, vids, files and folders on the spinners.
No problem, works great.
I have been doing this, at least in a different partition, with my HDDs for about 15 years. Can't figure out why everybody doesn't do this, makes re-imaging or re-installing the OS very easy.

No need to buy a big SSD for data storage, not yet anyway. When the prices really drop, say 500GB for $100 then maybe.

You can get a very nice 40-50GB SSD for $100 or less.
