But beyond that, you haven't established the value and 0 * 4 is still zero. He had some huge amount of RAM, and he was using a 1TB EVO NVME as a cache.Ĭlick to expand.First off, that's not how that math works unless all 4 systems have exactly the same gains (they don't) and you applied exactly the same settings. One guy used his system to do forensic analysis of disk devices from confiscated computers. On the other hand, slower devices might make it worth investigating. If one has his OS - boot and system - on a decent-performing NVME, you probably wouldn't waste the money on the software license. You wouldn't want to use software that fell down in some way per stability and reliability. So as I'd said before at least a few times, the stability of the software - its reliability - figures highly for a speed-tuned processor, larger memory and some sort of NVME device.
I came away spending ~ $65 +/- for the 3-PC license, which I applied immediately to the laptop.Īlso, as you say so yourself, WEI may not provide a completely accurate result or anything more than a rank-ordering of features bereft of a more quantitative assessment of performance.
I went through the 90-day trial on an old laptop that was severely bottlenecked by old SATA 2 technology. Instead it scored how quickly the memory performed as opposed to telling the user that 1GB was nowhere near enough to run Vista optimally.Ĭlick to expand.You have to multiply the value of any investment in tweaking by four - the number of machines I have running under Primo. If I had to guess, I'd say the WEI was created to help users get a better idea for what hardware specs were required to run Vista properly (as its requirements were way beyond what XP needed for optimal performance), but even then one would get results in the WEI that in no way reflected the difference between say running a Vista 32-bit system with 1GB RAM versus 2GB. These days, chances are if you use the standard AHCI driver you'd still get an identical or very similar score in WEI to if you used to the most optimal driver that other benchmarks indicated a benefit with.
The only time I paid any attention to the figures was in the era when many graphics drivers weren't yet up to the standard required for Aero to work properly it was a quick and easy way to know which driver to use. Then there's the fact that the scoring was changed for each version of Windows that had the WEI UI in. You do realise the figures are virtually meaningless, don't you? The reason that the WEI UI was removed from later versions of Windows was very likely because there's no single definitive benchmark for CPU performance for example.
