here is my score with my spec in my sig

simple, vista max score is 5.9, 7's is 7.9, it just increased the score limit...in vista i got all except cpu at max score

i believe ur hdd is near the end of it, is it old hdd? cause my old wd give me around 5.4 only...n its not so fit according to SMART diagnose...i mean its over 4yrs dy, so i dnt expect it to be top notch...n both of my disk is NCQ enabled, u need to enable AHCI in bios b4 u install windows, if u installed windows, u need to use regedit to let windows load the driver during boot so it dont crash ur os. follow here to enable if u enable ahci post os install here

1 thing tho, for real life usage, u better refer to real life benchmark, WEI dont represent ur pc's real world performance

is ur mobo with latest bios?

u know ur hdd's cache size? n interface?

should be nice, but shouldnt be slower than my old wd cz my old hdd has almost the same spec but barracuda should be faster, did u enable sata native mode in bios? ahci support can ignore as it dont give much benefit. my hdd have 16mb cache tho not 32mb

good, check ur bios carefully, it should be in native mode...i just afraid after u activate it now after os installation might crash...if it does, revert it back to previos setting, i'll post a solution...

i mentioned earlier about ahci dy!...u if u enable it post os install...u need to change registry to tell windows load ahci driver instead of usual 1, link is in my previous post...what is ur board? sata should have native mode unless ur board dnt support sata2.0

dude, it is bcz when u installed it, gfx driver isnt installed, thats y 1.0, the rest of the system r over 6.5, after u installed the driver, sure goes up la

any1 using ssd now? or normal hdd raid? i really wan2 know the result of them both, rather than us stucking at 5.9 -.-"
