Windows experince index numbers

Does anyone know how accurate or useful these are? My system is coming up with 2.9
for my hard drive but I am running 2 250GB sata II drives with 16mb cache in RAID
0 and was getting 5.9 in Vista (the highest score). All of my other scores are in
the mid 7's. Makes me wonder if Windows 7 is going to be optimized for SSD's.

Could also be a driver issue, as in the generic driver being used in Win7 is not
as optimized as the dedicated/specific driver used in Vista?
Vista also has optimization for solid state drives, but the drives have been slow
to materialize and are still pricey especially on a $/GB basis.

I ran it twice so far and will run it again and see what I get. It is blazing fast
in terms of when I'm using the system so I think maybe there is a driver issue or
maybe just number being reported incorrectly.

My guess the Driver for the sata controller is the bottleneck.

Ya, I'm a dumb ass!!! I looked in the device manager and realized that the SM bus
controller driver was not there. Went to Intel's website and BAM now I'm getting
like 7.2....much better!!Thought maybe there was something wrong with the drive since
I just bought it a few days ago and this is the first thing that was installed on
it.
