I think it's a conspiracy to try and get us to buy better hardware in hopes/belief we'll reach the theoretical max of 7.9 but mostly won't. ^.^

Its the harddrives that bring them down. Weird as I have a Raptor and Velociraptor drive, 2 of the fastest around.

Everything else is above 7.

[Nebula]

heh for my vista system it's my ram >.< (need to install my win 7)

Apparently, if you have an SSD your hard disk score can be 7.0+

But you are going to feel a terrible person inside for having paid more for an HD than some laptops / netbooks.

[Nebula]

rly?? 64 GB one for $200 XD oh joy
or a 128Gb for almost $300...

[Senator]

We will soon be having 64Gb in our mobile phones, and my keychain USB stick is 32Gb.

128Gb* for $300 (?190) is a bit better but:

2 x 1TB WD (5 year warranty) 7200rpm, 32MB Cache = (2 x ?70) ?140
Result: An 1TB RAID 1 array. And you have ?50 left over for candy. ($80)

*My Datas are about 411Gb.

It's only bug in the Rating program

I can get to 6.0, 6.1. AMD Fusion can boost up the HDD. If the HDD was SATA3 I would get 7.3 :eek My CPU and RAM are getting 7.3. Strange, even when I clock down the RAM from 1100 to 800. In the both casses is getting 7.3 :wtf Theres only 200-300MB/s difference but now I am on 1100mhz My GFX is reaching 7.5 on 750Mhz core and 900Mhz memory. When I clock her on 790Mhz core and 1100Mhz memory, she is getting 7.6 Not much difference but in Crysis there are 4-5fps more. Still I am afraid to clock my Phenom 940 to 3.8Ghz. With my case, which is not big enough for that kind of "power" my CPU on idle is getting 49C :eek

oh yeah, if you don't want to spend hours looking for drivers, I recommend drvermax. it checks out what your comp has, then looks updates from the web, then you dl them and let it install them, easy as that.

[Nebula]

is it free?? I've encountered quite a few of them but they all want you to pay for a subscription.

[BES]

My score is annoying since It was 7.9 everything last year..lol

And a HD5870 video card should be 7.9 but its not..

I only have one physical Hard Disk drive im using for the primary, if we could switch that before the test ..my score would be higher since the rest of the computer uses SSD's on a RAID controller.

There's both free and pay-for-all-bells-and-whistles-option. Free one is limited to 2 driver updates per 24h, and lacks automatic updates etc if I understood correctly. Give it a try, I did updater my ethernet drivers with it and by golly, there was 75% boost in dl speed!  :eek

[Lionus]

And in the graphics department I have Radeon 4870 with 1Gb ram if my memory serves me correctly. I've been updating the drivers too to latest versions which have lsightly hitched up my scores in that windows windows thingie.

Well since my old PC gave up the ghost; I'm stuck on Mum's laptop until tomorrow... So this is it...
