    Heres my quandry, i have a Toshiba R700 laptop running an Intel based cpu and chipset

    specifically its a QM57 chipset running a first gen core i5 560M CPU and Intel HD Graphics

    the problem i have is since swapping out to an SSD and 64 bit windows install my WEI scores for graphics have dropped? the only difference i can see in the two installs is that the 64 bit system uses obviously the 64 bit version of the graphics driver according to dxdiag. the driver version is identical

    Aero goes from 4.3 down to 4.2

    3D goes from 5.3 right down to 4.9

    my results for CPU also increase under 64 bit

    it goes from 6.6 upto 6.9

    so my question is, does the 64 bit architechture give more to CPU, and by thereby 'unleashing' the full capabilities of the CPU is it affecting the graphics resources to the worse?

    any input, explanation much appreciated. there are no issues with this at all, laptop still runs fine, i'm just interested is all!!

    cheers

    Ben
