While i4memory.com has their own Hwbot.org PCmark05 Rankings thread, that competition has been capped in terms of disk performance by disallowing software ram disks, MFT (managedflash.com) assisted SSD drives and capping XP Start up speeds.

This thread is to provide i4memory.com members with a place to have some friendly competition among i4memory.com folks without restrictions. So for this thread only:

1. No cap on XP Start up speeds
2. SSD with MFT assistance allowed
3. Software Ramdisks allowed

Note: Do not submit the same results you post in this thread to hwbot.org as their rules won't allow such assistance via the above listed allowed items.

There's a dual purpose goal for this thread

1. To provide a place for members to post their Pcmark05 results unrestricted
2. To allow sharing of tweaks for Pcmark05 to get the most out of this benchmark

For this purpose, the rules to submit your pcmark05 results in this thread

RULES

1. You must outline your system hardware specs fully
2. You must list what tweaks you used
3. You must include screenshots which also show the individual score components
4. Futuremark Compare url is optional since FM has same cap and restrictions as Hwbot.org

Submission format:

username | [ url = link to post # ] pcmark05 score [ / url ] | cpu used | motherboard used | ram used | hdd used | compare url (optional)

Managedflash.com installed on 4x32GB OCZ Core V1 SSD raid 0 array.









This time split my 4x32GB SSD Raid 0 into 2 partitions of equal size M and N drive and then did a Pcmark05 run and got much higher startup score. Ran Pcmark05 off 2nd SSD partition on N drive and got a nice boost compared to 1st SSD partition



If you remove MFT and just run 4x32GB OCZ Core V1 SSD Raid 0 on Highpoint 3520LF PCI-E controller you don't get as much performance on disk benchmark tests so PCmark05 score is much lower see below
