Windows Experience Index question

I'm just curious what everyone's rating is for their harddrive. Mine is only 5.9 with a 500gb 7200rpm seagate . What exacly does it take to score in the 7 range?

My HDD rating is a 7.5. That's with a 160GB Intel G2 X-25M SSD ($450) and a 7200RPM 1TB Samsung F3 Spinpoint HDD ($90). I actually think that the HDD is bringing my score down lol, but I'm not sure if Windows averages the two drives together or only takes the drive it's on into account. Either way, I suspect that the only way to get a 7.9 on the HDD score is to have an SLC SDD.

For the record I also have "only" a 7.7 on my GPU score despite having an HD5970 (we'll see how much that changes once I OC it), a 7.7 on my CPU score despite having an i7 930 OC'd to 4.01GHz, and a 7.8 on my RAM score which is really weird considering that it was 7.7 before I gave it a slight downclock (1600MHz to 1527.2MHz).

Yeah, I'm not putting too much stock in their values. I managed to get a 7.6 for my gpu and I'm only have a 5830.

I managed to score 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.6, and 5.9. Kind of suprised me to see that 5.9.

wei isn't to be taken seriously, but it's fun :P

i got 5.4 because of the hdd, 7.2 gtx 260 and 6.7 c2d 2.8ghz and ram
