    I wanted to start this because I have an XPS M1330 and a few of my budies also. Why is it that our configurations are exactly the same but our Vista Index numbers are different. Please post your Vista Performance Index Numbers....... and configs if possible. My real concern is to find out the Vista Index numbers

    WEI is about as reliable as rolling dice.

    Four is way too many threads already dedicated to this piece of crap. You guys need to stop looking at the WEI. Just stop. There's absolutely no point. If you think something is wrong, use an actual half-reliable benchmark, or I'll just pull out my random number generator for you.

    Even PC/3DMarkxx scores vary considerably, even on the same computer! So yeah, who cares?
