Vista - Window Experience Index Scores

Gomjaba what ram do you have? Wonder why it would score so low?

Two pair ... Needed a lot of Ram for my Virtual Infrastructure .. Quantity was at the time more important than quality .. but Ram is the easiest thing to upgrade

GPU is a 8800 Ultra btw.. none SLI'd

That may just be the timing on the ram. I had that problem until i changed the timing on the ram.

Any suggestions ? I never touched any setting from my bios

Edit: I am home at the moment, so I don't really know what settings I am using at the moment. But its probably set to "auto".

This is all I was able to find :



Are the settings obvious in the bios ?

Strange I get a 5.9 on my 4x2GB and I am running 5-5-5-15

Thats the thing, I don't know what mines are set on (apart from AUTO) - the screenshot I have posted are from an article ...

I'll be home in about 4 hours .. then I will see whether I can change something

The Memory measurement in WEI isn't just the speed of your RAM - It's checking the throughput of the entire subsystem. So Front Side Buss speeds are just as important, if not moreso, than the speed/timings of your DIMMS. So if you overclocked your comp some by raising FSB speeds, your memory score will also rise.

Thanks Scotteq that makes perfect sense as my system is very much overclocked.

Yea this is true. I forgot to mention that when I adjusted the timings I also adjusted the FSB speed. If you look in your bios, and change it from auto to manual you should be able to see what the settings are. Be advised though you should know what your ram is capable of sometimes they bios won't set the timings correctly. A lot of the time you will find the default timings on a sticker attached to the ram. You can play around with your FSB speeds and see what you can get then rerun the WEI test in windows. I know I saw a marked improvement when I changed the DRAM:FSB ratio in my pc. If you go back in this thread a little ways you will see my post. Placed a pic of the everest readout in that post it has my ram ratio in it.

On another note I am in the process of scrapping my wifes AMD X2 6000+ and Asus Crosshair MOBO in favor of an Intel E6850 and EVGA 650i. She doesn't game as much as I do but AMD has giving me nothing but problems, and It's all Intel for me from here on out. I am predicting a score of 5.7 after I get rid of those parts above, and her current Geforce 6800 for a Geforce 8800GT 512MB. Oh wait then her PC may just be faster than mine then. I guess I will have to upgrade. lol

hello guys. look at my performance

no, i have only about 2,5 on my laptop (performance on pic is fake)

but why i have gaming graphic index 3 and aero only 2,5? or it is only for ms win games (solitaire ...?)
