    So i run the vista system expierence rating and this is what get.
    Processor: 5.6
    Memory: 5.0
    Graphics: 5.9
    Gaming Graphics: 5.8
    Primary Hard Dris: 5.9

    Why would the memory be so low?

    I did do some mods and changed out the processor to a x9000 and added a second hard drive in raid 0. I have DDR2 pc2 6400 800MHZ 4gb memory. Please help this is not right.

    There's nothing wrong with your scores. The windows experience index is not a reliable nor accurate measurement of your system's performance, in fact, it's just trash. There are better synthetic benchmarks that will provide a better measurement of how well your system performs. See 3Dvantage and PCVangate.

    How much is the processor upgrade and do you think its worth it? I might wait to mod mine until the warranty is up.

    What a failure the WEI system is, I hope they take it out of Win 7.

    Its a spreadsheet that looks up system specs and gives them a points value, it really doesn't test anything.

    It has been known to give misleading and even downright false information (remember the G1S getting a 1.0cpu score?)

    In 7 they added the SATA problem to the test my last laptop got a 4.8 hdd score and in 7 beta got a 2.0 because of the SATA flaw. All other scores remained the same as vista.

    I seriously doubt it uses a db reference as ive had drivers totally kill scores for the gpu before.

    no its not a total db reference but it practically is, it has a lot of db look type components in it, and its about only as good as one.
