    ===========================================================
    For those who don't want to download large 3rd party programs, just want fast
    and easy comparisons to help get ideas of what 6625wd can do.
    ===========================================================

    This might be helpful in learning a little more about the 6625wd series and
    Windows Vista. Share your scores and system config?

    Processor: 5.3
    Memory: 5.9
    Graphics: 4.5
    Gaming GFX: 5.2
    Primary HD: 4.6

    Question: Graphics (NOT Gaming) seems a little low, possible to increase score?

    Don't compare WEI, compare anything else, like PCMark or 3DMark, or pinky sizes, or hair color. All are better indicators of performance than the WEI.

    The desktop graphics performance of WEI does produce peculiar results.

    Some results for the desktop graphics index from my own tests:

    Intel GMA 950: 2.1
    nVidia 8400M G: 3.2
    Intel X3100: 3.5
    ATI 1250M: 4.4

    Maybe the Index doesn't like nVidia.

    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7100 @ 1.80GHz: 4,8
    Memory (RAM) 2,00 GB: 4,8
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT: 4,5
    Gaming graphics 1279 MB Total available graphics memory: 5,2

    Have 6625wd
    To increase the graphics try overclocking the GPU with Ntune from NVidia

    btw, is there any way of updating this one? Display adapter driver version: 6.0.6000.16386

    I'm currently using this list of drivers:
    http://zeptoforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=377

    Display Driver Version: 7.15.11.6501

    Keep in mind these aren't the "safe" versions found on zeptos
    ftp, but so far so good. Have been using them for about 3
    days now without any apparent side effects.

    163.71 and 163.75 will raise your score to:
    4.6
    5.3

    Updated, but scores still the same. The GPU is fine,
    no complaints.No big deal, but am curious how much
    more of the CPU we might be able to squeeze out with
    future driver updates?

    Are there ways to get more out of it without lowering
    the graphics of vista itself? Will improvements in Vista
    and CPU drivers yield scores in excess of 5+ ?

    Am I just woefully ignorant of what's possible in the
    2.4 duo core? :)
