Share your Windows Experience Index (WEI) score here

Nothing personal intended here, but why would anyone want to share results of the most ludicrous benchmark in existence?

Can you image how much crap FutureMark would get if they based their final score simply on the lowest individual result in the suite of tests.

Well as a basic System Assessment Tool its straightforward/simple & useful for the novice PC user.

I found it pointless when first released with Vista, but now makes my life easier when e.g. I want to convince someone to upgrade RAM instead of another component without getting too technical.

I'll agree that it does need more work on it, e.g. have a more advanced technical section.

There must be someone out there who also wants to share it on Facebook too.

The actual benchmarks the WEI uses are quite good, it's just presented in a really fisher price way. If you want to see the real numbers use the winsat tool.

My SATA is still snappy though!

Old skool though, Q9550, 8GB DDR2.

My WEI disk score is 7.3 with a 3 year old HDD. Ran it a couple times and same result! Not really a trustworthy benchmark.

What HDD is it though?

There is nothing wrong with WEI. its not very accurate but isnt bad if you are comparing two PC's.

5.6 on account of my not particularly slow Hard Drive.
everything else is 7.3 or 7.4
