Windows 7 : Windows Experience Index score -> 5.5

I had posted my WEI score for Vista previously here and now that the new version of windows is available(Windows 7 beta) I thought I should do that for this one also.

So. I got the score of 5.5 in Windows 7. The sub scores are as follows

Processor 6.3
Memory(RAM) 5.5
Graphics 7.9
Gaming graphics 6.0
Primary Hard Disk5.9

This is with the AMD 6000+ Processor running at an overclocked speed 3300Mhz.

The score for my previous HDD (WD 250 GB PATA  ) was 5.3. This is my relatively new HDD Seagate 500 GB(32 MB cache) so the score for Hard disk has jumped a little.

Now an Interesting thing with the score is that some scores have moved up even though the hardware is the same. I mean I have not changed my graphics card, processor RAM etc. But the scores are different this time. Maybe the 64 bit OS makes some difference

My previous scores were 5.6, 5.9, 5.9, 5.9, and 5.3 respectively for Vista. The scores for Vista were capped at 5.9 so its understandable why the score graphics increased. But my Memory score has actually gone down and processor score has moved up. Very Interesting.

Since the WEI Base score is the least score out of the component scores, I got the Windows 7 base score of 5.5.
My plan to have a Hard disk setup in RAID 0 has still not materialized. Now I think Its better to have a single fast disk rather than couple of  disk in RAID. Maybe my troubles with partition disappearing due to infighting between Vista and Windows 7 has something to do about my new belief. The WD veloci-raptor might be something I'd like to try out.


Also I have managed to attach three 1200 mm fans for cooling and circulating air in my cabinet now and the temperature is in control. I've got 2 intake and 1 exhaust fans.
The motherboard temperature keeps exceeding the values set by ProbeII monitoring software. Maybe my change of CPU heat sink-Fan has left little airflow over the Crosshair motherboard chip set.

 The video driver is an beta provided by nvidia and available by Windows update and the other drivers are as provided by Windows 7 default. Hopefully these scores will go up when Windows 7 hits the stands and vendors provide optimized drivers for the new OS.

My upgrade wish list would be additional RAM, a new fast veloci-raptor HDD, and wireless kbd-mouse.
