Show Us Your WEI (2)

[noobvious]

Hi guys, I wonder what you all think about my score. Its nothing special, just a Core 2 Duo E8400 overclocked. I was looking around on why my physical disk score is always the lowest and came across this forum.

Welcome to the forum! You've got good scores.....I also have an OC'd E8400, but it looks like you've got a better graphics setup than I do. Here's mine.

Thanks guys for the welcome! I updated my system specs so you can see what is under the hood.

Hello dja2k, welcome to Seven Forums!



Looks as though you have a solid machine; the only way to gey a better disk score is with a Solid State Drive (SSD) Windows 7 has been optimized for use with SSDs.

I didn't need a super awesome gfx card, as my wife does only still photography editing. Not quite sure what's up w/ the gaming gfx memory (don't game so not too concerned), but am happy w/ the 7.x numbers!

Hello bc3tech, as long as it does what you need it to do then it's perfect!

+1 the numbers are just indicators. The "seat of the pants" feel is the main thing. A Guy

Looks good

As long as it does what you need.

Don't worry about the gaming gfx scores.

Nice system

There was a guy on VF that posted some outrageous score for vista.

Here I just found it.

I don't know if you're joking or you're really serious.

See what it says there? "Determined by the lowest subscore." If you're going to cheat at least do it right.
