    He doesn't need any more answers. He's got all of his questions answered. The 9800M GS is recognized in GPU-Z (sometimes) as the 9800M GT as it is a relatively new card that uses drivers that cause it to recognize it as a different card.

    As mentioned before, you can't flash shaders. You can only increase clocks, so you technically have a 9800M GS flashed to 9800M GTS

    Your welcome?

    Yeah, I think only DDR3 RAM can get that much.

    HA HA Sorry HA. Yeah the floor Model G50VT-X5 at best buy had a WEI Ram score of 5.9 in fact they were all 5.9's except the cpu was 5.1. The 3dmark is all im interested in. If the gts bios flash does me any good i want to try overclocking a slight bit more hitting 10,000 just one time would be sweet.

    I heard that vista WEI scores were pretty meaningless to actual real life performance. Is this true?

    Not sure why your RAM gave you such a low WEI score especially with 8 GB's, every time I went to BB it was 5.9's across the board except for the CPU.
    That's besides the point WEI scores give you a baseline score of how well your PC/laptop will perform but in every day use the numbers mean nothing.
    Your 3DMARK06 or Vantage score is more meaningful.

    As much as WEI isnt a good way of benching a system anyone who would say its entirley useless is an idiot. Like the guy who switched to vista ultimate and all his scores went to hell. His performance went to hell as well wether or not he has realized it yet.

    WEI can be an indication that a driver update or windows update has ed with your performance. Or in that guys case a failure to install any of his drivers.
