Win 7 experience index on current MBP ?
- Thread starter stefankr

- Sort by reaction score
i have the high res 17" i7 (see sig) 512mb video ram, 4gb system ram.
I got 5.9 on the experience index, 5400 rpm drive was the slowest item along with the ram getting the same rating.
On a side note my friend also running 64 bit windows 7 on a high spec pc with a triple core AMD and good graphics card with a 7200 rpm SATA drive also has 5.9, the bottleneck on his system also being the hard drive.

Thanks for your reply, squirrel77. What are the ratings for your video card and CPU ?
The system I'm interested in is like yours, except for the i7. I think I will order an i5. Still it would be interesting how the i7 is rated.
In my current Windows 7 system (no Mac, just an ordinary 3-year old desktop PC) that I want to replace, the CPU and RAM are the bottlenecks, with a 5.7 rating
Even my hdd is faster (5.9 as well).
It's reassuring to know that the 5400 rpm hdd in the 17" is as fast as my new 640 GB Western Digital hdd in my desktop PC...

slight correction and more info
oops on re-checking i find the base score is 5.8 due to the hard drive
processor = 6.9
RAM = 5.9
graphics = 6.4
gaming graphics = 6.4
it is dissapointing that the RAM also only gets 5.9 so even with an SSD my windows experience would only go up to 5.9 max, not that windows 7 is slow on bootcamp, it's very fast, is very useable under osX through paralells too.

The RAM upgrade to 8GB really helped, as that was the previous bottleneck at 5.9. I don't know how to improve the score beyond the GFX score which is now the limiting factor. Also interesting is the poster above me who has the same SSD but a much higher HD score.

Here's a couple scores I got on 2010 MBP's. One is a 15" i5 2.4 and the other is a 13" C2D 2.4
