Sorry, I cannot get past this ;)


doh, I try to blame in on the dyslexia.... but the sad fact is I make that very same typo pretty much every time I type the word disks....

also type ex-girl friends names instead of words that are even just a little bit like the name.....



guess Im on my way to be coming a gibbering nut job   :w00t:

Wow thats quite an amazing jump !
I think Clockd might be right in that it just scores the Disk based on its type. Theres no clever seek/read/write measurements going on :/

Just fitted a SSD, should have 7 on CPU as it was only clocked to 3.8Ghz not the normal 4GHz, I had flashed the bios before I installed the drive and set the FSB to low, had uploaded the pic before I noticed and couldnt be arsed doing it again lol Pretty happy seeing apart from the new drive it is basically a 2 year old system :)

Opps forgot I updated my graphic cards in March, ...I currently have a pair of  ATI 4890s which I managed to get second hand at just under £200 the pair  ...I also changed mobo thinking about it! ...as I had a Sli board before that ...this comp is starting to sound like Triggers broom! lol  I had a pair of really loud and hot running 8800 GTXs in it before the ATIs, I managed to sell them for £160 on ebay, the Atis are faster, a lot quieter and cool running :)

So the Ram, CPU, case and PSU are the only bits that are really 2 years old :P

The way that Win 7 rates components is very strange.
Shauns SLI 4890s score less than my single 4890.
Shauns SSD which is the same as mine scores more but i suppose Shaun has his
with AHCI mode enabled.
Most strange.

It doesn’t appear to take crossfire into account at all for gaming, my cards are running at stock speed while yours is OC’ed, I would guess that’s why you get a slightly higher score.

Yep I have AHCI mode enabled, looking at the comments on ebuyer a lot are getting the same score as me with it on, is yours the 50,000 IOPS version Steve?

TBH I don’t thinks it’s accurate as a benchmarking tool, maybe if it give results to one or 2 more decimal points it could be, but with how it is at the mo it is more a sort of rule of thumb than anything else :)

Yup.
Just havent optimized it m8.Originally i had a dual boot with win Xp & the boot loader is on a drive
that doesnt support AHCI.When i do get around to a complete re-install ill disconnect the other drives
before installing.
Apparently if your HD does not support TRIM then the maximum you can score is 5.9 !

New Netbook


Pretty impressive I think for an 11.6" lappy!

Need to swap out the single 2Gb stick and put a matched pair in though, got to love the fact Acer dropped a single stick of cheap RAM in a performance netbook!
