Everything on stock clocks
i5 2500K
ATI 5770 1GB
8GB of the cheapest DDR3 I could find (OCZ Black Ops I think)
2TB WD Eco drive
500GB Hitachi drive

Forget overclocking, i just hyperclocked.

What i really done was mod a file that displays the winsat scores and the file is found in C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore, Under the name of YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS.TOS Formal.Assessment (Initial).WinSAT.xml
 
^^ Lol, glitcher ;)

Is there even a way to get 7.9 in the hdd? (maybe raid Sdd hdd?)

Gabkicks : still pusing that i7 920??
You got a better score than mine :(
Mine is overclocked to 3.33 without turbo, with turbo 3.5.
But mine is not pin point fine tuned.
 
Highest is 7.9

a stripe raid on a dedicated raid card may get you to 7.9 or close if you use the fastest SDD drives.

6.1 is highest i can go on 7,200RPM motherboard raid stripe

Other factors come into play, are the automatic underclocking options disabled and is it running in full turbo mode the winsat may not be making it go into turbo mode.
Another is mainboard, this major piece of hardware can change scores alot, also ram are you running the same chips at the same clock with the same timings.

I have a feeling this isn't a good benchmark. I got the same score as you, stock. The only "overclocking" I did is tightening the memory settings.

yeah same ol i7 920 @ 3.8ghz. it idles at 2.2ghz i think
 
CPU: 6.9
RAM: 5.5
GPU (aero): 5.5
GPU (gaming): 6.6
HD: 5.8

Overal: 5.5
Not bad considering it's age, nearly four years now only upgrade was a ATI 5550HD. Still using DDR memory ;o
 
DDR1?

Ouch you are bottlenecking your whole system with that.

Your 5500HD should get higher scores if you used DDR2.

Should I get the 2 or 1 gig sticks? Price difference isn't much, I was thinking to get 2x2 so I'll have 6 gig total.

I would say save the money and use it for a drastic upgrade. As far as I'm aware you can't do much to DDR1 RAM. If you were to do an DDR1 upgrade the score would not increase by much and would not really be worth the money. The only worthwhile good part about increasing the amount of RAM in a system is to help for video editing software. That software can end up using a lot of RAM and that's the reason why I'd justify for getting more DDR1 RAM but not for performance increase.

I'd personally wait for AMD to release their new processors as they sound pretty tempting. I like the sound of an 8 core CPU and then a good graphics chip included with the CPU.
 
This is from the machine I built for my Uncle from three months ago:
score.png

CPU: Intel i5 2400(non-K)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1333
GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3
SSD: A-DATA S599 40GB(OS)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 7200RPM(data storage)

The parts were a little bit unbalanced due to I had to make a parts list and purchase the parts within two hours before my Uncle had to leave. My Uncle is pretty happy about how fast the PC is compared to a Dell and another Frankenstein PC(friend of his made a PC with spare parts. Only lasted him 6 months) he had before.
 
All stock speeds, with TurboEV enabled on the cpu.

I assume that overclocking the cpu would raise the score on the RAM and CPU another notch, but it's not worth it...
 
Time to bump this thread. Recently overclocked my Core 2 Duo E7500(2.93GHz) to 3.67GHz. Just changed the FSB from 1066 to 1333 and got this:

Kinda odd as the BIOS told me that it would be 3.8GHz but I am enjoying this speed increase with no temperature increase so far.
 
I would like to know what my Experience Index is too, as I recently upgraded my formerly weakest link (the RAM), but...

I installed the Windows 8 Developer Preview, and as far as I can tell, Experience Index is gone. Probably only for the developer preview, but they might get rid of it for good.
 
cpu-7.5 i-7 950
ram-7.5 corsair ddr3 1600
graphics-7.9
gaming graphics-7.9 GTX 570
SSD-7.7 120gig ocz
