| 600558 | 2007-10-11 03:53:00 | I have recently updated my Toshiba M30 laptop from Windows XP Pro to Vista Business. I have installed a graphics card driver, as well as the Toshiba Utilities and everything is working fine. I have an 80gb HDD, a nVIDIA GeForce 5200 with 32mb VRAM, 1.5GB ram and a 1.7ghz processor. My processor is an Intel Centrino 1.7ghz processor, and windows is giving it a WEI score of 1.7. I know several other people with the same, or slower processors getting higher WEI scores, and someone with an identical processor has got a subscore of 3.2. WEI Score Breakdown is as following: Processor Calculations per Second: 1.7 Memory Operations per Second: 4.0 Graphics: Graphics Performance for Aero: 2.0 Gaming Graphics: 2.3 Primary Hard Disk data transfer rate: 3.9 What is the reason for Windows thinking that my processor is so slow? Thanks. Ben |

| 600559 | 2007-10-11 04:08:00 | I wouldn't put too much stock in the WEI rating . . . my score is like 2 . 0 with a P4 3GHz, 1GB RAM and a X800XT 256MB . Despite the the rating my PC runs Vista Ultimate just fine without any hassles whatsoever . If you're not experiencing any problems and the speed of your computing is fine then I would say you have nothing to worry about really . Cheers |

| 600560 | 2007-10-11 06:43:00 | What video processor do your friends have? the 5200 is pretty craptastic and probably the reason you get such a low score. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 600561 | 2007-10-11 07:10:00 | What video processor do your friends have? the 5200 is pretty craptastic and probably the reason you get such a low score. Thats the nail :thumbs: in the score OK. I got one Vista PC in the workshop, has the same 5200 Card, and its score is 2.0 - all other scores are around 4+ but fine for what I do so no need to upgrade it ( till I get annoyed with it) :lol: |

| 600562 | 2007-10-13 01:20:00 | I do not really care about the graphics score or the overall score, I am only worried about the low processor rating. Cheers Ben |

| 600563 | 2007-10-13 04:41:00 | Try restarting the PC. I once updated my score, and my 7900GTX scored, from 5.9 down to 4. After restarting and redoing the test again, the 7900GTX got 5.9 again. Don't know if this works. |

| 600564 | 2007-10-13 07:15:00 | Same, mine went from 2 to 3.7 | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 600565 | 2007-10-15 03:24:00 | I have already tried rebooting, many times!!! | BenMToshibaM30 (12912) | ||
| 600566 | 2007-10-15 05:34:00 | Yeah, it only happens in some cases. Rebooting isn;t going to make that processor or GFX card any better. Just enjoy the laptop. If you have problems, then worry and replace something, until then, have fun:thumbs: | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 600567 | 2007-10-15 19:46:00 | laptops often slow down the cpu to save power and only speed it up as required, the power management settings may very well cause your low score . also running on batteries could score lower than running on mains for the same reason . You should be able to manually force it to full speed mode to redo the test . You may have some monitoring software installed that can report the current cpu speed . |
