    T7500 2.2GHz
    2GB DDR2 667MHz
    Nvidia QUADRO NVS 140M 128mb (dedicated, really it uses up to 879mb ram)
    Hitachi 60GB 5400 rpm

    It is the Nvidia GPU and next to top of the line CPU that bumps up my specs. :)

    I think there's something wrong with the X3100 64-bit drivers.

    Kind of topic, but:

    StevelSol I am guessing you have the regular WXGA screen while KnightUnit, you have the WXGA+ screen.

    Why am I asking?

    Quite frankly I haven't received mine yet and I don't know the difference.

    I'm pretty sure your vista score is simply the lowest scoring component...not an average or anything like that.

    It's his Nvidia graphics holding him back from a higher score.

    So yes!

    You think? ;) I think I recall you getting 3.5 in Vista 32bit.


    My result (ThinkPad X61) is attached.


    As for the Windows Experience Index in general, I'd advise people to take the results with a grain of salt.

    I have seen cases where it awards higher scores for the harddisk based on greater capacity, rather than speed. For example a 4200 RPM harddrive with 200GB could score higher than a faster 5400RPM 120GB drive even though it is significantly slower in i.e. Sisoft Sandra and HD tune.

    What're the disk scores for the 7200 drives? I have a 5400 and I'm getting 4.9, but it's a brand new 160GB perpendicular drive

    The harddrive is not perfect. I'd like to have a hitachi 7K200.
    But, I have no idea how to get a Hitachi 7k200 SATA(3Gb/sec) Version instead of SATA(1.5 Gb/sec). Can anyone help me?

    Given the consistency I've seen in T61p scores, I think that's the Quattro m570 256MB.

    Agree, those scores are almost identical to mine, though my HDD gets a 5.4 (7k200). I will fire it up and check the model number, but I am reasonably sure it is the SATA 1.5 model.

    Edit: Updated score to 5.4.

    I got the 7k200 and I am getting a HDD score over around 5.4. I will run it again and post the screen shot later.

    Yep, I am too. My bad. My memory score is 4.8.

    Hitachi HTS722020K9SA00, which I am pretty sure is SATA-150.
