Recently upgraded my older HP computer with a new Intel 320 Sata II 160 GB SSD & AMD 6870 video card.

Those scores don't look like an old computer. Nice job. Good scores.

It's always nice to have your low score change to another device that already had a high score

Previously the lowest scores were 3.5 for graphics (Nvidia geforce 210) & old HDD spinner at 5.9 so the HIS 6870 which I installed only yesterday was the last component needed to increase the overall score.

I should also note I previously had upgraded my power supply to a 600 watt OCZ modular from the 300 watt stock POC in anticipation of a higher performance video card.

Nice upgrades and nice scores, congrats

Get a 5.9 just because of my HDD. But oh well doesn't bug me my computer still runs every program I want fine and doesn't have a long start-up time.

A nice system like that desserves an SSD.

 

[Lantz]

I'm assuming you're talking about mine if not I'm sorry but anyway... I'd love to have an SSD but as a student I have no money to spend on one. Being I'd also like to keep my data in tact for years to come I might try backing up my system and reloading it onto a RAID 5 array to boost speed and redundancy.

 

[Solarstarshines]

yes he was talking about yours a nice SSD will put you into the all 7's club

 

[Lantz]

Would definitely love to be in the all 7's club but as of right now there's no way I could afford an SSD. I will eventually get enough money to get one, being I have a promising opportunity for a job over the summer. I have to agree it really does deserve a SSD it's a beast of a system.

Forget Raid - nothing but trouble. SSDs suitable to house the OS sell for less than $100 - Example: OCZ OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G Vertex 2 Solid State Drive - 60GB, 2.5, SATA II at TigerDirect.com

Ya the main thing is this is all data I've gathered over the course of almost 3 years, which is about 480G worth, which being I have few pics, no videos, and not many large games, is alot of stuff I need to be around. I could see maybe transferring stuff over but that can be a bit messy in my experience. As far as RAID being a mess goes I know. Recently dealt with a guy who's music studio system suffered a total burn out. The RAID array was wiped out, partially due to a low-end disk controller, but that was just his OS. He kept all his data on a roughly 9 year old SCSI HDD. Gotta love how other people set up systems.

There is no problem moving all your data to the spinners. We all do that and only keep the OS and programs (less games) on the SSD. Have a look at this to give you an idea on how to get started: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/149969-ssd-install-transfer-operating-system.html

Great scores. I also will suggest to add one ssd.

Great system Lantz and as long as your computer operates the way it should and you are satisfied with your configuration that is all that matters.

The new SSD made it to 7.9 finally.

Updated Toshiba L755-S5258 Scores (i5-2410M CPU, 8 GB RAM)

Here's my Toshiba Satellite L755-S5258 laptop's updated scores, with the new intel 8.15.10.2509 driver for the HD 3000 graphics (no more OpenGL issues, runs even faster):

Also, that's an OCZ Vertex 3 SATA3 VTX3-25SAT3-120G SSD, posting that big, fat 7.9

CPU: intel core i5-2410M 2.3/2.7/2.9 GHz, 2 cores, 4 threads (HTT)
RAM: Crucial 8GB PC3-10600 DDR3-1333

Not bad for a $549 laptop (bought new last year at MicroCenter, May 2011).

Here is my Toshiba Qosmio X775. It still blows me away that a laptop can achieve this score. I have read they are making laptops that incorporate SLI, they should be awesome. I have been into powerfull desktop rigs and never gave much thought to laptops as gaming machines but this laptop has changed all that.

 

[Britton30]

Nice lappies there Trevor and Kelly!

 

[essenbe]

Very nice scores, Kellymac.
