System performance

hi friends

i have rig with the following specf.

C2d e7500 @ 3.8, Asus P5G41t-M LX mobo, Xfx Ati HD 5830 @ 850/1050 GPU, Corsair XMS3 1x4GB DDR3 1600mhz Ram, sata ll 500 Gb and sata ll 1 TB HDDs, cooler master 750 watt GX series..

Win 7 64-bit os.

My windows performance rate is 5.9 due to data transfer rate...but my GPU has 7.8, CPU 7.0, ram 7.0 ...
but only data transfer rate is at low... as 5.9.
so my question is that how can i increase data transfer rate form 5.9 to highter? also want to know.... is sata ll only supports this (speed) rate?

thanks for your answers...

Drop in an S.S.D. drive, mechanical Hdd's will always score in the 5 region

Regular platter hard drives, no matter how fast they are, will never score higher than 5.9 on the WEI. To get higher, you need to use an SSD.

thankx for the help....

No probs, I 'suffer' from the same problem

Yeah, that's my next big upgrade -- just trying to decide how much I want to spend.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I thought about upgrades, and somehow talked myself into a new build lol, still without ssd haha

yeah i agree, an SSD will not only get your numbers game up, but you will definitely see a speed boost as far as performance goes.

on my recent rig that i built, all my scores are 7.5 or above and the 5.9 score was killing me. some say those numbers arent accurate for more powerful pcs....but still...numbers are addictive lol.

so when i threw in my first SSD it went from 5.9 to 7.1

 

[kamran_kim]

hey i have one more question???
as SSD is expensive and having 160 GB max...so how do u mantain your rig according to capacity??? have you install SSD as primary and Sata as secondary???? or only SSD?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

You install windows on the ssd, that makes it the primary drive
then any sata's you add after that are storage units
Moto

yeah. i have a 90g SSd. so on it i install my OS, and main running programs that i use for work since they greatly benefit from the speed boost.

but everything else is installed on another drive.
