    what is your lowest? 5.1 seems oddly low for the machine listed in your sig.

    or is it because of 64 bit ultimate?

    I have 4gb (3.2gb usable) of ddr2 ram oc to 900mhz, which gets a score of 5.3. If i upgraded to 64 bit vista, to what extent would my score improve due to the increase of 1gb in usable ram? If instead i decided to oc my ram further, at what speed dyou think i would need to go up to to get 5.7-5.9? My ram has 6-6-6-6-12 timings at the moment, i might try reducing it a little in the bios.

    At the moment it says 3,5 for me on the NVidia 8400GS - but I use the Intel all the time - I think that gives 3,1 (kept the score since recovery on my SZ)

    I.e. I voted 3.

    But:
    Processor: 5,4
    RAM: 5,0
    Graphics (desktop & Aero) 3,5 for NVidia - 3,1 or 3,0 X3100
    Graphics (games) 4,5 NVidia - 3,2 or 3,0 for X3100
    HDD 5,1

    So its graphics "letting me down" although its not as I don't really need it.
    (I don't game, maybe Photoshop Elements 6 would profit from a more powerful grpahics card, but that's it)

    Edit:
    Just ran it on the X3100...
    It says 3,5 for Aero & Gaming... - that would make the X3100 faster than an NVidia 8400GS...

    A dude on the first page has the same GPU and notebook from sony also, he gets 5.5 / 5.1 ? Is WEI lowering the scores over time just because new hardware is coming out so the WEI is more "correct" to look at?

    Not too shabby, considering I'm somewhat of a road warrior and use this for just about everything but gaming (planning on a new desktop rig in the near future) :cool:

    its likely cos he has the GT version. If you have the GT version, then its because he has GDDR3 and you have DDR2 card. And finally if that is not the case and you have the exact same as his. then hes is overclocked.

    Altough looking at yours. i cant see how the processor manages 5.6 when it should be around 5.1 and your ram around 5.0 unless your processors are Athlons x2 which they are not.

    My 8510w scores this:

    processor 4.9 ([email protected])
    Ram 4.8
    Graphics 5.9
    Gaming 5.5
    Hard Disk 5.4

    where as my 8530w scores

    processor 5.6 ([email protected])
    ram 5.3
    graphics 5.9
    gaming 5.5
    hard disk 5.7

    Previous T61p Scores

    Processor 5.4 ([email protected])
    ram 5.1
    Graphics 5.9
    Gaming 5.5
    Hard drive 5.6

    So in theory to all 3 processors i owned. [email protected] would be 5.1 and [email protected] would be 5.3. So yours should be either 5.2 and 5.3
    Sorry if yours really are true cos going on mine and alot others makes it sound a load of farse.

    Well, here you have a screen of mine. I had the same in Vista x86.


    EDIT: Btw, i don't even care if it's 3.1, WEI is crap to benchmark with or even compare scores with :) And this is just a good scenario that shows it! I know how my CPU is compared to other, so don't worry that i think it's performing better just because WEI says so :)

    Yeah i didnt doubt your score but i did have to wonder. I did overlook ram as i noticed the timings of them could be factor. but i would never believe the T7600 would equal T9600. it shows Wei is pretty naff but it still shows roughly how much perfomance you have as you notice difference wil low range specs
    Also intrestingly on the pic you shown. Vista allows you to score upto 7.9 rather than 5.9 why is that you reckon?

    Because i'm running windows 7 maybe? :p
    And newer vista updates shows up to 7.9 also i believe?

    So the score may be "correct" for me though. as i have 5.6/7.9 and T9600 has 5.6/5.9 which is a higher rating thanks to the highest score you could achieve is 5.9.
