Fitted an SSD to Diesels PC today, it's scoring 7.7.

He is going to love it when he gets back from his holiday

Nice work...but erm...I think you forgot to put the graphics card back in lol 

 

It's called Affirmative Action, Freddy. SOMEONE had to hire that retarded gerbil with a box of crayons!

My thanks go to Data for the work he has completed on my machine, I'm very impressed as always. 

Err, has anyone seen a stray Graphics Card kicking about here somewhere. 

  back Diesel, Oh! and a big welcome to the SSD club 

You won't find the graphics card, sold it on eBay  

welcome back Diesel, enjoy the new ssd 

Welcome back    Have fun with your new toy !

Just put an i3 together for a member of Diesels family.

3.1 GHz i3 with HD3000 graphics on board. (Sandybridge)

8 GIG RAM

SSD on SATA 3

Got to say it's the fastest booting PC I have put together, there is an Intel fast boot in the bios, had to turn that on, its booting in something like 6 seconds 

The SSD on the SATA 3 does feel a little quicker than on the SATA 2 systems and its scoring a lovely 7.8   

Graphics score looks decent, not mind blowing but for no graphics card it should have enough grunt for games.

Over all I'm impressed for an i3.

well done there Data, don't underestimate those i3's they are great little cpu's

While I was in the hospital, Mom bought me a new laptop, since the old one's cooling issues would be more expensive to fix than buying a new unit would cost. I haven't really tested it out yet, since the desktop is still my favorite, but I guess I'll have to break down and check it out, since it's an I5 quad(?) core. At least, I think it's a quad core. I'll let you know about that, too.

Ok, I was wrong. It's 'only' a dual core, darn it. Belarc shows the following:

2.50 gigahertz Intel Core i5-3210M
No memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Hyper-threaded (4 total)

I think it was the "hyper-threaded" reading that threw me off. I don't yet have a decent graphics app installed yet (I refuse to use paint), so it'll be a little bit before I can post my WEI, but I'll do so shortly.

I tried to post the WEI image, but got this:

QuoteThe upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator.

I'm not surprised it's a dual core i5, a quad in a laptop is going to eat the battery, the CPU also has less cache than a desktop i5, again for power saving I should think. 

The up-load should work now Dave, lets see its WEI.

Oh, SURE! Make me dig out the laptop again!

lol, gimme a few, if you don't mind.

Here we go:
