    WEI scores for Gateway 78xx/79xx series with Windows 7.

    I'm posting my rating below(config in my sig). Have seen the rating of P8400/P8600 processors turn out to be the same. Just wanted to know if thats the same case here.

    My Rating 5.8
    Processor - 5.9
    Memory - 5.9
    Graphics - 6.7
    Gaming Graphics - 6.7
    Primary HDD - 5.8

    Mine before I did my processor upgrade:


    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz 5.9 5.9
    Memory 5.9
    Graphics 6.8
    Gaming graphics 6.8
    Hard disk 5.9
    Windows 7 Ultimate

    After my swapping in a different chip:

    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8235 @ 2.80GHz 6.4 5.9
    Memory 6.4
    Graphics 6.8
    Gaming graphics 6.8
    Hard disk 5.9
    Windows 7 Ultimate

    So it looks like I got a little bump to the memory.
    Looks like the native MS tool also doesn't see the second cpu properly, leading to its giving a 5.9 score to the second core.
