    So I just got my m11x. After a little reading I just decided to go with the su4100 and save a little cash.

    In bios I OC my cpu and set it to enabled then save and boot into windows. In my computer properties it lists the su4100 as running at

    U4100 @ 1.3 GHz 1.73 GHz

    Why does it list both speeds? Is there anything wrong with this? Are there 2 cores running at two different speeds?

    I'm guessing you're talking about the processor displayed in WEI.

    Mine says

    Processor: Genuine Intel(R) CPU U7300 @ 1.30Ghz 1.73 GHz

    It's not a problem, it's just the way it's described.

    WEI on an over-clocked SU7300 with 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD

    Processor: Calculations per second 4.6
    Memory(RAM): Memory operations per second 5.6
    Graphics: Desktop performance for Windows Aero 6.5
    Gaming graphics: 3D business and gaming graphics performance 6.5
    Primary hard disk: Disk data transfer rate 5.9

    The score is for speed, which doesn't have anything to do with amount. Other things running during your test could have changed it that .1, or it's so slight it could just be rounding or something. Also, his is OC'ed, which should speed up the ram; is yours OC'ed?
