    As you can see in my sig, this were my WEI score when I overclocked most of my notebook's component but when i returned my notebook back to default clocks, my WEI scores did not change.

    My score only changed when my score would go UP, it will not change to go back DOWN.

    Someone please tell me how ro make it go down again?(I like to see how my default clock state would score)

    WEI is worthless...use a real benchmark. Seriously.

    WEI gave my CPU a 5.2 @ 3.15GHz, 5.9 @ 3.36GHz, 5.8 @ 3.5GHz.

    I think Vista just rolls a few dice to be honest...if they don't, they should as it would be better (but still not accurate).

    try delete the file in C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore

    that where your score is
    if you remove that you system will show no score and you need run winsat again

    I wonder if you can modify whatever is inside DataScore to make it like 6.0. That'd be funny.

    From read other sites yes you can appently edit the numbers if you so wanted too

    I myself have,nt tryed it

    Command line usage:

    WINSAT <assesment_name> [switches]

    Valid assessment names
    formal run the full set of assessments and save the results
    features just run the features assessment
    cpu run the cpu assessment
    mem run the system memory assessment
    dwm run the desktop window manager assessment
    d3d run the d3d assessment
    media run the media assessment
    mfmedia run the Media Foundation based assessment
    disk run the storage assessment

    An assessment name is mandatory.

    The 'formal' assessment will run all the assessments and save the data
    in '%systemroot%\windows\performance\datastore' This is the only
    assessment that will save data in this location.

    The 'features' assessment simply enumerates the system's features.
    This is best used with the '-xml <filename>' switch to save the data.
    The '-eef' switch can be used to enumerate extra features such as
    optical disks, memory modules, and other items.

    Other command line paramters include include:
    '-v' enable verbose output
    '-xml <filename>' save the XML output to 'filename'

    Running the "winsat dwm" command will re-assess the systems graphics
    capabilities and restart the desktop window manager.

    Please see the online Command Reference for more information
    on the command line parameters used with the other assessments.

    C:\Windows\system32>

    They list of command for winsat if any want to play with it give you idea oh what it test
