Windows 7 "Experience Index" oddity....

Mainboard is an ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 rev3 - its a AM2+ board (rev 3 of this board does support quad cores)

As for CPUID - here is what it shows me....

Processor 1 ID = 0
Number of cores 4 (max 4)
Number of threads 4 (max 4)
Name AMD Phenom II X4 955
Codename Deneb
Specification AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor
Package Socket AM3 (938)
CPUID F.4.2
Extended CPUID 10.4
Brand ID 13
Core Stepping RB-C2
Technology 45 nm
Core Speed 803.6 MHz
Multiplier x FSB 4.0 x 200.9 MHz
HT Link speed 200.9 MHz
Instructions sets MMX (+), 3DNow! (+), SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4A, x86-64, AMD-V
L1 Data cache 4 x 64 KBytes, 2-way set associative, 64-byte line size
L1 Instruction cache 4 x 64 KBytes, 2-way set associative, 64-byte line size
L2 cache 4 x 512 KBytes, 16-way set associative, 64-byte line size
L3 cache 6 MBytes, 48-way set associative, 64-byte line size

Everything I am seeing is that each core is simply running at 803Mhz and they are getting 3.2 Ghz purely on the number of cores. If that is the case, then I can understand the math, but not sure why the WEI doesn't show the total (as it did with my dual core) - as well as why the WEI score is not any higher than it used to be.
