Easy to do, right click "My Computer", go to Properties and it should be there (for Vista and Win7 Users). Mine as of today: Image Unavailable, Please Login
7.4 on the studio PC.... 7.9 on my wife's new quad laptop. But the studio has a lesser video card (not needed for studio work), and the video performance is a big factor in the performance spec. Jedi
6.6 on my laptop. 7.5 processor (i7 2820qm) 7.6 ram (8gb ddr3) 6.6 windows aero 6.6 Radeon 6770m 2gb 7.6 primary disk rate (SSD 160 gb) Running Windows 7 64 bit If I can figure out how to fire up the processor at peak factory ghz; I'd like to see what it could do.

I'm right around $2,700 into the build now and I am still using my 6 year old Acer monitors. Built this in late April and have done a few incremental upgrades...I pulled the new MSI N460GTX that I originally bought and installed and replaced it with a EVGA GeForce GTX 580 with 1.5GB. The machine basically plows through anything I throw at it. It would be a terrific machine for video editing - what I did was way overkill for what I do. Funny but Jedi and I built our computers around the same time and - without even speaking to one another - ended up building nearly identical machines for music production.
WEI is pretty useless as benchmark for anything at all. My 990x scores lower than my 750 in WEI but absolutely eviscerates it in terms of video encoding and most other things, yet my 2500k is faster than the 990x when using different software...all boxes clocked to nearly the same rates save for the 25k which is a good 400 MHz faster than the rest.
That is funny and sounds like an awesome setup. I'm overdue for a new build and started with the monitor first. Not the best but it's got a cool feature; PIP!

I knew quite a crowd of folks who used it as a baseline a few years ago. What is accepted these days? Of course, none of it was pure seriousness; but one of the fellows had the world record numbers at the time.
Love that! I think I would consolidate though next time around...if only these 30" Dells weren't so ridiculously expensive! http://www.amazon.com/UltraSharp-U3011-2560-1600-1000/dp/B0046TX0VC
