Couldn't edit previous post.

I could overclock a little to increase my score but I prefer to not risk ruining hardware. I think I'll leave things as they are for the time being.

Upgrade my Nvidia 6600GT Driver and my score went up from 4.1 to 4.3.
Thanx Nvidia.

Not sure why but I think that some of them are wrong like my processor and ram ratings...I see some people have way lower processor Ghz and even lower RAM memory with higher scores...Anyone has any suggestions on how to improve my scores if possible?

everyone the secret to getting ur score higher is oc ing i was able to push a 7300le core 450mhz to 520mhz mem 324 mhz to 1000 mhz nvidia does not want to have to make a different card all the time so any gt/le can perform as any gtx by 0verclocking just make the cooling solution better and watch your gt outscore your friends' gtx without even trying.

mb: k9n neo f
cpu: x2 5600+ oc to 3.44ghz
ram: kingston 2x1gb ddr2 533 dual channel
graffix:evga 8600gts
cpu cooler : thermaltake max orb

lol wtf i dont have a grfx card and check this out... 64MB ram devoted to graphics and i get a better score on 1680x1050 resolution LOL

Well, new driver didn't do diddley, so I had a go at Google and found the reason and solution.

TweakVI is the culprit. By default it disables access to the experience score plus all features related to this. I got full access once this option had been enabled
But my GFX score is still as crappy as before....

Video is killing me on the numbers - although everything works fine for me.

After a GPU/RAM upgrade....

CPU....AMD Athlon64x2 4600 @4.6 = 5.1
RAM....Legend DDR400 4gig = 5.6
GPU....Galaxy GeForce 8600GT @ 256mb = 5.9
Gaming....3d & gaming =5.8
HDD....Samsung 200g = 5.3

Guys - you know overclocking is bad right? Shortens hardware life.

Mine isn't any more...CPU was over-clocked (oops, boo boo on the last entry) from 2.41Ghz to 2.6Ghz. However the performance gain was very minimal and wasn't worth risking my hardware over, so everything on my rig is now running at factory settings....my CPU being back at 2.41Ghz.

5.9

I got a 2.0 index score last time I installed Vista...

I have a score of 3.2


Everything is at 5 or UP but my graphics card is "internal" and I want a better one and I think that is what is keepin my Graphics from reaching 5.0 or anything else to get me a score of 5.0 or somewhere near there...


I tried all sorts of drivers and still stuck at 3.2... I will try a new video card when I can afford the one i want...

OH man!! I am sooo stoked!! I got an nVidia 8800 GTS 512 Video card and it brought my WEI from 3.2 up to 5.1!!!

Now whats keepin me at 5.1 is my processor but Gods what a difference an upgrade in a video card does


I am all an NVidia Girl now


so WEI is 5.1 for me now yay much better than 3.2
