    This is strange but might be the difference in started applications, or that I have 1GB installed only? But you have got T7500. Copy your screen to clipboard (fn+prtsc) and then cut the rest in photoshop.

    Its the 1gb RAM...

    Your overall score should go up a notch or two with an additional 1gb.

    What feature has 4.6 in your rating list? It looks strange as you have got better HDD and T7500

    My graphics rating was 4.6, just as yours is. A better processor and HDD won't change the weakest link.

    As such, both our systems will be 4.6 Base Score forever, as long as the graphics card is not upgradeable(which is forever). I don't suppose a better driver will make a difference.

    I wouldn't put too much faith in WEI. It is notoriously inconsistent. :)

    the difference in the 4.5 wei score and the 4.6 wei score for ram is probably due to what windows version you guys have. Suland has Windows Ultimate while everyone else with a 4.6 has premium.

    I wonder why processors don't show any difference. Agree that bus is the same...But sure they are faster!
