Low Windows 7 WEI w/ SSD Boot Camp

[MattMJB0188]

I just installed my Intel X25 M 160GB SSD and prior to that I was using the base 500 7200 RPM HD that I got with my MacBook Pro. I was able to get a 5.9 and now with my new SSD my general score is a 5.3 with the graphics getting the worse score. I would think that with an SSD my score would be much higher than the original 5.9? I am using all the latest drives and latest firmware on the SSD. Here is a screen shot.

SSD doesn't increase graphics performance. Try running it again with no other apps running

I did and still get a 5.3. I mean it doesn't matter I just don't understand why the general score was lowered.

You shouldn't pay attention to synthetic benchmarks. Run a game with a fraps benchmark to see if the average fps of a certain scenario is lower than before with the hdd.

Thing is, I don't game and I didn't before so I wouldn't know if the fps had changed.

I've seen graphics drivers alter the WEI scores, I'm guessing that is what has changed on your Mac as you've had to reinstall Windows

Fretting over gaming graphics is beyond me then.
