    On my new m1530, the WEI is 5.1. Is that good?

    I have:

    T8300, 4 GB RAM, 200gb 7200rpm HDD, 256MB video card, bluetooth, wireless N intel, 1440x900 screen, etc.

    WEI is crap; the only reason i ever used it is when my video drivers died on me.

    Sure WEI is kinda silly but it is something that all Vista users have. It has some use as a relative comparison.

    I'm waiting until Microsoft bumps the WEI up to a 9 or...hell....even a 10 score. Then we'll talk! ;)
