Vista - Window Experience Index Scores

Here is my updated WEI for my new system.

Dwarf, What Memory are you using?

**Korki Buchek** · 10-04-2008

Gateway GT5676, Quad Phenoms, ATI HD3870, Corsair TX650w

If I have a Quad Core ... why does WinExp show only having 1 core?

**Dwarf** · 10-05-2008

Hi Norm,

The specifications for my memory can be found here: http://www.corsairmicro.com/products...N2X4096-6400C5

Hi Korki,

Check your BIOS settings. Some BIOSes have the ability to disable all but one of the cores in the processor for diagnostic and compatibility reasons.

Specs in my sig. I plan on getting an E8400 soon enough though.

I have to say that my little lappy compares extremely favourably to some of the rigs posted on here. I do not have any major graphics card, only an nVidia Geforce 8600M GS and 4gb ram and my index score is not that bad!

Thanks Dwarf, I am running The Xtreem Dark DDR2-800 which " uses choice die from original manufacturers and is equipped with the Aluminum heat-sink printed with the Xtreem logo like its brother in the same series. Besides ventilation, the heat-sink brings a special tone to make the product both reliable and attractive. In terms of performance, besides a data transfer bandwidth at 6.4Gpbs, the timing configuration of the Xtreem Dark DDR2-800 is 4(CL)-4(tRCD)-4(tRP)-12(tRAS). From the viewpoint of CAS latency (CL), the factor affecting performance most, as the CL of most DDR2-800 modules is 5, the Xtreem Dark DDR2-800 can display the uniqueness of the DDR400+ specification." The spec are a little higher than your Corsair, yet you get a 5.9 compared to my 5.7?

Hi Les, that score is PRETTY GOOD for a laptop,

The FSB has quite a bit to do with memory throughput. I switched out a Q6600 with a Q9450 (and changed absolutely nothing else) and memory went from a 5.4 to a 5.8. After a new BIOS and some memory settings tweaking, I was finally able to get it to 5.9.
