[H] Windows 7 Experience Index
Ok...I know I'm doing a build on the cheap here, so I'm not overly concerned about getting top speed here, BUT. Processor: 7.4 (ok by me) Memory: 7.5 (ok by me) Graphics (areo): 3.7 (What?? - I have to stare at this all day, so this may not be good). Graphcis (gaming): 5.8 (Not going to be playing games at work but I'd be happy with this for Aero!) Primary HD: 5.9 (Does one need SSD to get faster, but this is ok for me) So, I'm looking for a cheap (ie, $75 or less) vidcard to get the Areo graphics up about 5.8 or so. I'm thinking of a Radeon 4670 but I can't find a Win7 EI score on it. Any ideas? BTW, on my home system I'm getting: 6.3, 5.5, 5.9, 5.9, and 5.7. I see an I5 on a cheap mobo in my future.

Ok5.9 (Aero) and 5.7 (gaming)according to here: http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=279threadid=120377 I can live with these scores for $75. Anthony Q.

Re: [H] Windows 7 Experience Index
The highest disk score for a magnetic drive I've seen is indeed 5.9...and that's on 7.2k SATA, 10k SATA, or 15k SAS. My 2x Intel G2 SSD array gets a 7.9 (highest possible) though. A single Intel G2 seems to get around a 7.7, and the OCZ Vertex gets around a 7.3. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Anthony Q.
