Pc Pit Stop

[Smurfette]

...a swift defrag (which had only been done the night before last but what the hell) and quitting Rainlendar & the sound mixer got me to 1265. CPU score of 5609.

but

Drive C has an uncached speed of 3.14 megabytes per second.

For comparison, systems with the same CPU and clock speed as this one have a speed of 7.25 MB/s.


I just defragged it too... C: and D: are on the same physical drive.

I got the same problem.

I defragged it, then made a ghost image onto drive d, then restored the ghosted image.
After that my speed went up to 5MB/s uncached.

The uncached write test is actually a nonsense test - how are you going to achieve this in real life? To prove how insignificant it is, look at the score you get from it - merely the speed in MB/s. Even if you got 7MB/s you would only get an extra 4 marks (plus 10 for no yellow flag).

Don't worry about that benchmark.
