    New Setup: DV2700T
    T9300
    4gb ram
    160gb
    8400GS

    = Windows Experience Index 4.0 Score.
    My lowest score was of course the Gaming score but this is on stock drivers. That is a .5 increase from my 3.5 on the same setup with the T7500 (DV2500T).

    So far so good. :D

    What is the Graphics card that you are using? That Graphics score looks really tempting!

    or WEI can be easily manipulated... if you know where to look, you can change a certain file to give you the numbers you want.

    WEI uses the advanced calculation technology of hardware utilizing the "advanced cube engine". Shown below

    Roll and find your WEI score

    Seriously stop using WEI as a benchmark!

    I still don't understand why the heck people even mention the WEI. It's a useless tool created by Microsoft to force people who don't know jack about computers to buy hardware they don't need because they think their score is too low.

    So please people, stop creating posts about the WEI, because it is a complete and utter joke and disgraces the world of technology.

    P.S. Flipfire is 100% right on how the WEI is calculated.
