    Hi all,

    I'm looking for suggestions to increase the performance of my dual 500g R0 system. I got the system yesterday and ran the WEI and got a score of 5.9 from the "Disk data transfer rate". I got 7.2 Proc, 7.4 Ram, 7.2 Graphics, 7.2 Gaming Graphics. I'm running Win7 Ultimate and upgraded everything I found off Joker's 3rd owner's thread.

    I know the obvious would be getting an SSD, but AW didn't offer primary secondary on my replacement system.

    Any pointers is greatly appreciated! :D

    My pointer is WEI is worthless. Use PCMark Vantage if your really interested.

    But for increasing your WEI score for the HDD, theres nothing you can do. 5.9 is the limit for a mechanical drive. Everything higher is for a solid state disk. Besides, you don't really need WEI to tell you how good your computer is.
