Yup, Intel i7 Core CPU isn't cheap, unlike AMD does so I have save up more to have enough funds to purchase it.

I will planning to buy Intel i7 Core CPU, new motherboard, DDR3 RAM, cooling fan, video card (if not upgrade to GeForce 460/470 GTX at first), case and possibly PSU, depends on my existing PSU if it has enough watts to power up.

Ahhh I see your CPU-Z show that your memory is run single channel, you need set it up correctly memory configuration to order run DUAL Channel memory.

Look at your CPU-Z in memory tab "channel#" show read SINGLE.

get it ?

Look at highlight that you need set it up correctly.

Wow, the fail is strong in this thread for those arguing back and forth about the prebuilt. There are some people who dislike the hassle of building their own PC, and plus, they want to have warranty and technical support. This is where OEMs make their money; service and custom-designed (forgot that word, starts with port) hardware sales.

To those who are arguing about the Window Experience Index rating, it's worthless as a benchmark setting. And I mean absolutely worthless. There are laptops that get better WEI rating than my desktop.

For one, CPU score measures the ability to multitask, not raw computational power. RAM is rated by amount of ram installed, followed (distantly) by speed. Hard drive is rated by capacity, not speed. Graphics is actually the only one that gives a somewhat accurate graphical rating, but even then it is very subjective to the drivers.

Basically, WEI is worthless. Do not base your entire computer experience on WEI as a benchmark.

On XS we were trying to find out how MS evaluates your computer -- ie, what does it measure and how, so we had a whole bunch of people putting up their WEI and their system specification. Turns out that it was wildly inaccurate (obviously, but now we had solid proof) -- some systems that had CF 5970s and i7 980x @ 4.5Ghz got lower scores than people with i5-750 and GTX285.

Also, WEI (apparently) does not measure RAID0 speed, so people with 8x to 10x SSD (2000+ Mb/s thoughtput) had 0.2 higher points than people with standard mechanical HDD.

It was pretty sad, actually. You can find that particular thread if you search in XS with the keywords: "WEI what does it take to get 7.9"

Here is mine. I do not have Window 7 yet (haven't seen any reason to move on to 7, plus vista 64-bit has treated me nicely) so I don't know what my scores will end up.

I heard that WEI was already fixed and better accurate on Windows 7 that push higher score to 7.9

Vista can only limit to 5.9 no better what, That is why Windows 7 is much better with WEI overhaul from 5.9 to 7.9

You can download Windows 7 for trial and check with WEI score then you will surprised that score are improved within Windows 7, I have Vista 64 with all almost perfect score 5.9 then upgrade to Windows 7 that gave me higher score than Vista's WEI.

For my experiences two between prebuilt pc and built pc are not excatly same but maybe a par or so. why ?

1. prebuilt pc come with junk bloatware software PLUS too many programs running in background and cause bog down on start up pc.

2. built pc come with your own install clean OS Windows or Linux whatever then install all drivers in the order and no software come with and just OS itself prove for better performance, less troubleshooting, quicker start up and dont have to wait for glasshand on screen forever.

I know everything PC between preload and built pc are simple different configuration.

I bought preload PC long time ago and gave me many many problem so I just nuke preload OS off hard drive, clean install OS on exist hard drive no problem.

Remember no flaming around here and that people choices what they want with their PC.

I am agreed with you. Just re-format and re-install was not big deal. I never bought a preload PC (desktop) all in my life before. Just learned from friends and reviews about preload and OEM. That's it. Just OEM computers for many years. That's all I bought a preload was laptop then i had re-format/re-install to clean up a junk. Later, I bought a Macbook, wow best preload ever I had! It's perfect CLEAN and no junk software.

this is my bios i have to do ht link and ht frequency,too?!?

IF you don't find anything at BIOS then put the RAM at wrong slot that show up single channel. Try put RAM at another slot like channel 1 and another RAM at slot channel 2 slot that become dual channels OR some of motherboards have two different color of slot.

Like that.

Again, All depends on motherboard. Looks up a user manual and find which right slot from motherboard to enable dual channels.
