Hello Bushman5, welcome to Seven forums; looks good!

My WEI plus HWMonitor values
Guess the disks are the bottleneck

Only a SSD can help you to get above 7.0

 

[Hotzenwalder]

Still too expensive for me. Guess 5,9 will be my WEI number for now

Only a SSD can help you to get above 7.0

I must be the closest you can get without having an SSD then (check the Disk Data Transfer Rate)

but I still get 4.0 because of my integrated graphics gotta update that and my mem before too long...'specially my mem since my computer slows to a crawl during installations

and I don't know why it states I have dx 10 when dxdiag says I have 11 *shrugs*

Welcome to Seven Forums.

Nice scores

That system is begging for a SSD.
A good but small boot drive will cost around $100, and the performance increase is truly amazing

Welcome to Seven Forums.

Your is pleading as well, see above

Small SSD boot drive, big HDD for storage, and your off to speed and performance that you will wonder why you waited so long to install, and never look back

What HDD configuration are you running to get those scores?
Raid, SCSI, or?
What are your Disk Data Transfer Rates?
A lot of people would like to know.

I don't know how to answer that one to be honest. I just plugged my hdd into my mobo and installed Win 7 on it.

As far as I know, it's only a normal setup with SATA

is there a tool I can use to diagnose it? I'll run any program needed and post the screen shots if it will help other people

Edit
and all I meant by "Check the disk data transfer rate" is that Win 7 called that section (primary hard drive) by "Disk Data Transfer Rate" but I'll run any test

 

[Dave76]

You can use HD Tune - free for personal use, and CrystalDiskMark also free.

You can post them here or at the Show us your hard drive performance thread.

That is an unusually high score for a single HDD.
What's the make and model of your HDD?
Will be interesting to see the HD Tune and Crystal Disk snips.

You can get a lot of information about your computer with SIW - System Information for Windows.

 

[okami 11x]

Well here is both HD Tune and the specs of the hdd according to SIW

I have no idea what this means either lol

but I was using the computer during the benchmark so I don't know if that messed up the ratings

Great numbers

Also great numbers. Not neccessarily a bottleneck, but the weakest score. You could do better, but your performance can still be very good, even the best spinner HDD gets a 5.9

You could benefit from a better GPU, but if performance is serving your needs, no worries. Showing DX10 is normal.

Wow, wonder why you get such high numbers for a 80GB 7200.9 spinner?? You might have an incorrect assessment, if not WEI is weirder than I thought. Your transfer rates don't deserve that high a score

Your HDD is a Seagate model ST380811AS, SATA2, 8 MB cache, 80GB.
With a 75 MB/s transfer rate, that might get a 5.9 WEI score, maybe a little lower.
Using the computer while benchmarking might affect the score, but only very little.

I have to agree with A Guy on this.

Good setup, bet it runs great.

I don't know what to tell you guys. I ran the assessment more than once and it gave me the same numbers.

 

[Dave76]

Don't worry, just a glitch in the Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT) that runs the tests to give the WEI score.

An extreme RAID can get a bit above 5.9, other than that it takes a SSD to get between 5.9 and 7.9.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Here's the WEI from my newest build

​

I just updated the video driver on this and got a .1 increase, I'm very pleased with it over all.

[CarlTR6]

Nothing at all wrong with that. I'm at a 4.3 and I will stay there due to my CPU.
