what's your WEI score? If you don't mind me asking

Don't know off hand - I'll have a look later when I'm on my lappy

madasahatter · Apr 25, 2008, 12:21:47

Right - I need to bow to you both

WEI is 3. It's 4.5 on everything but graphics and gaming graphics - they are both 3.

Darn it

Steve · Apr 25, 2008, 14:58:20

Bragging now!!! WEI 5.9
I think that's the max number at present,not bad for home made.

Home built PCs are generally better than store bought ones, as you get to pick and choose specific parts. With store bought you get a general build and it can be bottlenecked in places. DIY with PCs is the best way to go, and is often cheaper.

Wot like imo?

Rik · Apr 25, 2008, 15:17:45

That would definitely be correct, imo.

Steve · Apr 25, 2008, 15:18:32

IMO vista sp1 has speeded up the whole vista experience especially copying, unzipping and shut down its a very smooth OS now

Sounds about right Steve, MS issue a new OS, take about a year or so to get it right, then issue it's replacement.

It's comments like these that make me want to give Vista another go, but I must resist.

Give in, Sebby, You're young, live dangerously.

Sebby · Apr 25, 2008, 15:26:14

I guess installing Vista could be classed as living dangerously!

Rik · Apr 25, 2008, 15:28:22

It is to me.

Inactive · Apr 25, 2008, 15:28:49

I am still not going to pay MS for an OS that has no significant improvements over XP, and is resource hungry.

Sebby · Apr 25, 2008, 15:29:55

I sold my copy of Vista and I can't see myself buying it again just to give it a go. I have got a disc from another Vista PC, so I could install it as an evaluation. The biggest problem I found with Vista was that it's quick for a month or so, then the performance declines.

Rik · Apr 25, 2008, 15:31:00

All PCs do that.

Sebby · Apr 25, 2008, 15:33:12

Of course they do, but I'm not just talking about the expected disc fragmentation, redundant files/registry entries, I'm talking a grind to a halt!

Rik · Apr 25, 2008, 15:34:59

There's also perception, of course.
