i decided that now that with the amazing help of Milanca i have my retail Intel Machine running i would put its powerful hardware up for the test
first i did a full test with scores as follows:

Then i realised that it was my ATA drives that were bringing my score down and as i havent shifted my retail install over to my main SATA drives i decided to do a test without the Disk Test and the results astonished me!
