Show Us Your WEI [3]

oh yes WEI the most reliable thing to measure pc speed


i got this this strange thing that made my think how is this possible

i use vmware virtual pc
virtual HDD is on same physical HDD as OS..
but WEI says that virtual pc has faster HDD how is that possible?
Host has spinner that as far as i know will only get 5.9 max but virtual disk is on same spinner and gets 6.3 can someone explain?

oh yes and virtualized graphics is faster than host :/ im confused

You're probably getting help from the host on disk I/O--A little extra shot of memory. It would be interesting to watch disk and memory activity on the host while you run WEI on the guest OS. I'd try it on my Vbox Win8 but it won't even run WEI. I suspect because of the lack of display drivers.

wei will not run on some virtualizations platforms because it detects that is a virtual pc and refuses to run..
wei should be able to run even using standard vga graphic driver but you will get score of 1

That's good numbers and certainly no slouch.

She may not care now but wait six months. She'll be saying it's slow.

If she is going to be just like Daddy I'm hoping she picks quality parts and entertain the thought of doing it Herself

Aren't we all?
I'm itching to do a new build but kinda waiting to see a better "step up" in the hardware arena. I haven't been impressed except with the Vertex-4. I'll take a look again in a few months.

The kernel doesn't fall far from the nut.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but when i went to buy a Hdmi cable from fry's today for this very Pc the SSD's are getting lower im wondering is it just me or have they really been getting better priced ?

I seen a 120 gb force for 99.99 and 120 gb force3 for a little bit over 120.00 128.00 something like that it makes them real desirable also checking out some of the intel SSD but still kinda pricey for my blood

I read over at a magazine's website that there is a price war heating up. Their theory is that SSDs are now mainstream enough that all of the manufacturers are going after market share. Good for the consumer.

Most of the SSD sales I've noticed are less than $1/GB, about time the prices started falling.
