    Can I get folks who have the Studio 15 w/ATI post their WEI numbers? I'm concerned the Studio 15z from Best Buy is actually beating the 1558 and that disappoints me.

    Thanks.

    Processor - 6.7
    RAM - 5.9
    Graphics - 4.9
    Gaming - 6.2
    Hard disk - 5.9

    Graphics: 4.9
    Gaming: 6.2
    HDD: 5.9

    How come your rating for RAM is so low?
    As far as I know, the same RAM components are used in my 1557 and your 1558..

    That is a very good question and why I am asking people to post their WEI scores. I'm concerned my Studio 1558 isn't living up to what it's supposed to be.

    For you two that have posted so far, clean install of Windows or Dell's install?

    You can always overclock the ATI's with a vbios flash ;) should increase your scores pretty well. But WEI really isn't a very good benchmark. You'd get a better idea with 3DMark06 or Vantage.

    Is your ram 1333Mhz, from the screen shot it seems like its 667mhz or im reading it incorrectly

    No, I don't think you are reading it incorrect. The BIOS says my RAM is 1066Mhz but I'm wondering why CPU-Z is reporting 667Mhz. I'm starting to think Dell put the wrong sticks in.

    Seems the reason your RAM index score is lower than spetzje is because he has 1333Mhz.

    I have 1333Mhz ram as well and have the studio 1747 and ill check to see if CPU-Z reports it as 1333Mhz when I get home from work.

    Hi OneCool,
    How are you getting a Graphics Score of 5.3.
    I only manage 4.9 on my 1557? :(
    Are you over clocking the GPU?

    @techifan1 - Yes it was overclocked ;)

    Your ram is dual channel which means it runs two channels at 667MHz. So if you add 667+667 you get 1334MHz. Also there is standard multiplier for ddr3 of 16 so keep that number in your head for a minute. The QPI link speed is the speed at which the two or more cores using hypertransport technology transfer data. QPI is a direct link between the cores. the easiest way to tell the speed of you ram is to look at the pc number of the ram. ddr2 PC6400 = 800 MHz with a standard multiplier of 8 you take 800 x 8 and get 6400. simple. ddr3 has a standard multiplier of 16 so 530 x 16 = roughly 8500 comes to PC8500. So if you can find it even if you have to open your computer you'll know for sure what it is using that number. 1333MHz will be PC10660, PC10666, or PC10700. Now that I've looked at the CPU-Z thats been posted you are running 1333MHz ddr3. In my CPUID you'll see i have the same information with a little more ram. I also have the system information pulled up to show the speed of my ram.

    @techifan- I'm just bought this studio 1558 and I am trying to figure out how to overclock the cpu and the gpu. the gpu I haven't tried yet but is tons of information on it. the cpu i am having trouble figuring out. i got a laptop with a core i3 specifally because its line of cpus is supposed to automatically overclock when need but i don't have the turbo boost feature can u give me any leads?

    I have the same processor and memory on Studio 1558 but the results are different.
    Did you under clock the CPU?

    Processor: 7.0
    Memory: 7.3
    Graphics: 4.9
    Gaming Graphics: 6.2
    Primary Hard Disk: 5.9

    you won't have any added performance if your memory is faster than the cpu. cpu limits your speed from the ram. i see that the cpu is 7.0 and memory is 7.3 looks like you should overclock a lil bit to get that memory optimized
