    Oooh... that's great for a mainstream notebook. I hope to have a similar rating on my new 1420 when it arrives (it has the same processor, graphics card, and ram as yours)

    I'm not sure if fake is an appropriate word here, maybe a mistake?

    It is fake. I have an m1330 as well with the 8400m GS with 169.09 and the Graphics score is 4.1. Gaming Graphics is a 4.7 though. I have heard however that if you use rivatuner you can improve the Graphics score.

    Well, I have seen WEI scores that don't correctly rate components (it is fairly common actually).

    Fake. I have a desktop rig with a 3GHz Dually, 2GB RAM, 2-130GB 10K RPM drives striped, nVidia 8800GTX and I only pulled 5.9. Using the ATI 3780 X2 still shows 5.9.

    I've never seen anything rate above 5.9, including quad core processors. I'm sure Microsoft intends for the scale to go beyond 5.9, they just haven't coded it for that yet. (sp1 maybe?)
