    I know WEI doesn't really tell anything, but I was just wondering what these hit. If anyone knows it would be great.

    It should handle all of vista aero/dreamscene/dreamscapes fine ya?

    Thanks.

    YEs it will handle it fine... my gma 950 can...

    WEI... to me... is fantastic... why wouldnt it mean anything? its the slowest on your pc... if its 3 means that is the lowest you have... its WAY easier for people who dont know much about components...

    No clue on the score though... in the 3 or 4's

    My WEI is 3.1 for now... itll go to prolly 5 or 6 when I get my m15x :)

    Agreed.. for more advance solution, go 3dmark06 (yes, it isnt any more precise..) and for the elite, go game benchin.
    Other than that, i say just ignore WEI.

    I ignore WEI as it seems very inconsistent and just plain nuts to often... For instance, I saw a Dell i1521 on display at Staples and its ram score under WEI was 5.9 for DDR2 667Mhz whereas my i1520 gets a 4.8 with the same ram speed. My desktop also gets a 4.8 with DDR2 667...
