Title: Windows Experience Index Rating
Post by: Spanky on Monday, February 21, 2011, 05:43:26 AM

It's even more bullshit than I thought. I was always curious why I got a 5.9 on disk data transfer even with 3 HDD's in RAID0. Turns out, it doesn't rate on speed alone...

if memory is reported under 4 GB , it will regardless of QUALITY, rate it 5.9 for QUANTITY.

You could have the fastest RAM in the world but if you have less than 4GB, you get a 5.9 rating. This has got to be the same for hard drives too, I bet only SSD's get above 5.9.

No, you misunderstand. The thread I linked to talks bout the memory score, I applied the same logic (thinking they used similar code) for the HD.

Ah okay, I guess that logic makes sense. I dont know why'd there'd be such a huge wall to jump over just to get past 5.9 though. It'd be pretty gay if an ssd doesn't actually get a score higher than 5.9 lol :D
