    Hey guys i have a question.

    On my Gateway laptop i'm running it on 4GB RAM DDR2 and i only get a WEI score of 4.6. Also, on my friends laptop which is a Sager has 2GB RAM DDR3 with a WEI score of 5.0.

    is this right? or is there something messed up?

    thanks for the help

    it doesnt matter as WEI means nothing

    WEI is inaccurate, dont use it to benchmark performance.

    Its like a marketing ploy.

    Your score sounds fine. And as everyone says WEI is pointless. It is not a benchmark. You can manually change the score to whatever you want if it would make you feel better. I don't have Vista so I don't remember the page to change. Has been mentioned many times on NBR.
