This thread will help us all see what going from 3ghz to quad core 3ghz will do. I'll post my P4 3.0 with HT DDR 400 and 128MB video now. When I get my new system built, I'll post back with another.(weekend hopefully)

Here is the P4, which I can get to a 4.2 by overclocking, but it runs too hot with stock fan, lol.:

EDIT: Something I just noticed, my IDE drive gets a 5.9, that score must be wrong, lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This score is higher than in Windows Vista but for odd reasons; not because the max has been lifted from 5.9 to 7. The CPU score went up from 5.7 to 6.3 - same CPU. The lowest scores are now graphics related, whereas in Vista the lowest score was CPU. I really wouldn't rely on this WEI as an accurate benchmarking tool, just an indicative tool.

(BTW - C: Drive is OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD.)

What hard drives do you guys have? Something faster than a velociraptor? Wonder if my disk controller is being foul.

I think 5.9 is the right score for a velociraptor.

Ssd's seem to do well in this test, 1x120 Vertex ssd scores 7.3 on my system.

I'd love to know what transfer rate a velociraptor gives if copying a large file (2gb+) from one part of the disk to the other to see if there's much real world difference in writes.

On my Samsung non-ssd drive the transfer rate levels at 30MB/sec while the Vertex gets 70MB/sec while copying a 2gb+ file from one part of the disk to the other.

Could you tell me what the velociraptor gets?

Mine gets about 100MB/s . I bet it uses random access, although the Velociraptor should be at the leader of the pack in that. With the exception of solid state drives of course.

Any chance you could do the transfer test with one file which must be 2gb+ in size as the file you used would be using the main memory to get that speed of 100MB/sec and would not be showing what the Velociraptor disk can do itself? Thanks.

It's really the velociraptors sustained file transfer rate i would like to know and that would need a file over 2gb in size as a test file to find it.

If i use a small file of 400mb like your test file the main memory is being used and i would be getting speeds higher than what this pic shows the vertex doing with two files equaling 1.21gb because it's not using the disk alone but using the main memory :-

My 120GB Vertex scored 7.0 in WEI, yet it does very well in ATTO - 192 MB/s writes and 256 MB/s reads.

Yeah your Atto scores are round about the same as mine but us both having the same make and size of drive might be the reason. ;)

Putting the drive in Ahci or non member raid mode on a intel motherboard controller got my drive up to 7.3 in WEI, not that its any great leap in performance but it feels nippyer compared to ide mode or using the onboard jmicron controller.

my computer sucks so much it said there is something wrong with my computer(which there isn't) so it couldn't finish

The last time I was able to have any kind of score was before build 7000. Seven always BSOD when rating my video - it's a by-design bug, it's the only time I have a BSOD on my system, and of course this never happen on Vista.

I guess it because I have and old graphic card, ATI 9600, so it's my fault. Since I don't do games, I refuse to change.

Aah, that's it. I run SATA in IDE mode rather than AHCI. I tested both and found that AHCI was faster for large file or sequential reads and writes, but was slower for 4K reads and writes, so I opted for the better 4K performannce of IDE mode. However, I can see that this slightly affects my WEI index. It should give better all round windows/pc performance feel tho.

Thanks for getting right on the money here; I'd already forgotten.
