MY WEI is 6.8.

My HDD score is 6.8 so it's the lowest of all of them.

The funny thing is, I have 2 SLC SSDs in RAID-0 as my OS drive. How can this possibly get only a score of 6.8?

My scores are: 7.5/7.8/7.5/7.5/6.8.

The HDD is really strange (?). I would think SSDs in Raid-0 would be close to the max score of 7.9.

Dual Xeon systems get 7.9 across the board. Gulftown systems, 7.8 (CPU holds it back)

The index is based on the lowest value of a suite of tests. From an elevated command prompt type winsat -? for more information on how to run the individual tests and see comparable results. Even though the index stops at 7.9 it's possible to have higher (respective) discrete values. This feature makes such a benchmark having merit whereas the numerical index does not say much.

It looks like you want numbers for Windows 7. I am still using Windows Vista and those numbers top out at 5.9, which mine does, even with my QX9650 underclocked to 2.4GHz to save electricity [CPU voltage ~ 1.08v after VDroop; I could tweak it to find the minimum, but this works fine].

I would love to build a new system around the i5-2500K, however, my car is in the shop for repairs and money must be spent there.

On the flip side, some of my programs only work on Windows XP and I would not expect great gains for MP3 creations to CD on that platform with the 2500K. And, I think Anand, or one of his associates, said there is not much benefit to gaming with the 2500K if someone already owns a good quad core.

These 32nm CPUs are tempting however, because inflation is expected soon and that will drive up prices.

System:

MB: Gigabyte P35-DS3R [ early version 1.0]
CPU: Intel QX 9650 [2.4GHz for desktop and light gaming, 4GHz+ for heavy work]
CPU Cooler: Thermalright XP-90 [taken from an ancient socket 478 motherboard,
$5 dollar adapter required for socket 775]
Video: HIS HD 4890 factory overclocked
RAM: G.Skill DDR2-1066 [high quality, good overclocker]
PSU: Seasonic 650 watt
Hard Drives: WD 640GB [one black, one blue]

How do I capture a cool image like that?

I hit alt + Print Scrn and then go into Accessories -> Paint, hit control-V, select what I want, crop, and save. Then attach here with the "manage attachments" and link using the IMG tags.

Yeah, my five year old raptor is holding me back. Boo hoo. It's still a beast. SSD someday, just not today.

Just did a small o/c and boosted my i7 920 from 2.6 to 3.2. This changed my cpu subscore from 7.4 to 7.5. However, my memory subscore increased from 7.5 to 7.9! Not sure what I did to change that score, but it's fun stuff getting a free upgrade.
