WEI doesn't really 'rate' your DRAM as far as performance, it bases the rating on how many sticks, freq, and an odd combo of factors - 1 stick will generate a low score, it's similar with HDs, a platter drive tops is 5.9, doesn't matter if 5,400, 7,200, 10,000 RPM or even RAID... CPU's pretty much there too, in general most folks in the system world just ignore WEI

Yeah, it's disappointing, especially coming from MS, you'd think they could provide better tools, but in part it may be do to the earlier version where 5.9 was the max. They figured no one would be able to max it out to a full overall 5.9 for quite awhile, yet there were plenty of us OCing systems and passing along how to the public and before you knew it a 5.9 overall was somewhat common place and rendered it useless as a viable tool.
