Show Us Your WEI [3]

[Big Tom]

I just picked up one of these for my netbook (HP Mini 210-2070NR). Newegg.com - OCZ Solid 3 SLD3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC
it was in dire need of speed. It takes much longer than i want to wait for start up and shut down sometimes. I already added an extra gig of RAM to it, but that wasn't enough hahaha

I'll probably end up putting the larger SSD in my desktop, and putting the SSD i'm using now into the netbook. I'd rather have the extra space on my home machine

Comparison Win 8 WEI to that of Win 7.

I have just installed Windows 8. My WEI under Windows 7 was 7.7/7.9/7.9/7.9/7.9. Win 8 now shows 8.1/8.1/7.7/7.7/8.2. For primary drive, I configured RAID 0 with two Mushkin Chronos 120GB SSD drives. Graphic card is Nvidia GTZ 560TI-SC. Please present your WEI and compare what it was with Win 7!

I'll pass the Win8, but thanks anyway.

Yeah, me too. Just wanted to see the WEI in Win 8. I saved a drive image just before installing win 8.

I posted both quite a while ago in this thread, but to save you searching here they both are -

Impressive! DDR3 2133 is just awesome. BTW why your disk index is so high?

 

[paulpicks21]

Not sure, it's just a single M4, the M4's do tend to score well in most benchmarks.

It's also worth noting that when I ran WEI on windows 8 I only had a single 560ti, not the 2 that I now have. This may or may not have an effect on the graphics rating.

I don't have windows 8 on the PC anymore so cannot try it out.

I have changed onboard graphics delicated memory to 128(max), and set primary Integrated insted pci-e.

New budget, but excellent computer

My rig with it's new AMD Bulldozer 8120 OC'd to 4.58 Ghz. Ram is still far off it's potential @ 1832 mhz also WEI doesn't acknowledge my second Crossfired 5770 hawk.

Impressive Bulldozer rating! Your drive looks a ssd at SATA II port, right?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

It's actually a Sata III m4 SSD and it started life at 7.9 and has dropped to 7.4 but it's still blazing quick !

Old dog, new tricks!

My dad gave me his old Dell XPS 400, I dunno, about 3 years ago. He had it for maybe 3 years before that. The thing is a dinosaur by modern computing standards.

It came stock from Dell with an Intel Pentium D 2.8 GHz dual core, 2 GB of RAM, a 256 MB GPU (I still have!) and some kind of Sound Blaster audio card.

When I got a hold of it, I promptly put a Linux distro on it and ran like that for well over a year. Then, I decided to max the RAM to 4 GB and drop a GeForce 9500 GT with 1 GB of vRAM in it. I also put a SSD in at one point. AWESOME! It ran Linux like a charm. However, with the advent of the Gnome 3 and Unity desktop environments, I decided to put Windows 7 x64 on it.

Here is the WEI with all the stuff I just mentioned:

Overall WEI = 4.5

Processor: 4.5
Memory (RAM): 5.4
Graphics: 4.9
Gaming Graphics: 6.3
Primary HD: 7.5



Today, I received some very reasonably priced upgrade parts.
I installed an Intel Pentium D 3.6 GHz dual core processor, a Zotac GTX 440 with 2 GB vRAM and an Asus Xonar DG audio card with S/PDIF fiber optic out.

Here is the difference the CPU and GPU made. It's not much but it is a significantly snappier overall experience. I can now play Diablo III without any problems!

 

[Britton30]

Good upgrade buggsy!

 

[essenbe]

Nice job Bug, that's the way to do it.

 

[essenbe]

Well done on the AMD rig, Alan. You'll like that. Real good job.
