Unit 2 D2

2011 Intel i7 with 580 gtx graphics

The only negative point of this computer system is the low score it received in the hardware tests, the score received was 18.

-Primary partition capacity: 932 GB

-Drive write speed: 143 MB/s

This could be replaced in order to increase the overall Nova Bench score of the computer system. 

All of the components of this computer system scored well, however the hardware tests did not go so well, and if this was replaced, the computer systems performance would get better.

If the hardware of this computer system was improved it would reduce the occurrence of faults. The hardware would function with no issues and using the computer system would be much easier if the hardware tests score was higher.

Less time would be wasted replacing hardware and attempting to fix hardware if the hardware was replaced.

For the second computer system I chose you could install a better processor to make the computer run smoother and more efficiently.

Also you could install a better Graphics Card to make the graphics run better on the computer which would make more frames per second.

You could change the RAM so that it would operate faster, would just need to buy one which could hold more MB.

Also you maybe could also improve the drivers on my computer to make everything load faster.

There are no other improvements that are required as there is no competitors for this computer system. All other aspects of this computer system of high quality therefore there is no need to make any more changes in regards to other components of the computer system.

The total Nova Bench score for this computer system is 1943, which is the highest score I have seen. This tells me that the components of the computer system are working well, and are good quality.

This computer system received a score of 175 for its RAM system. It has a RAM speed of 11339 MB/s.

175 as a considerably high RAM score in comparison to other computer systems.

The CPU test score for this computer system added up to 796 which is a very good score. There are 3 sections to this test:

-Floating point operations/second: 210561168

-Integer operations/second: 914180192

-MD5 Hashes generate/second: 1265105

These are all high scores which tells us the CPU is functioning well and reasonably fast.

The graphics test for this computer system scored a score of 954, which is by far the highest graphics test score I have come across. The graphics test score contributed massively to the over all Nova Bench score.

-3D Frames per second: 2485

This computer system has no competitors in terms of graphics due to its very high score.

The only downfall of this computer system is the  low score it received in terms of hardware tests, the score received was 18.

-Primary partition capacity: 932 GB

-Drive write speed: 143 MB/s

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

Intel Intel Core i3-4330 3.50GHz running at 3500 MHz

NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 GPU

8112 MB System RAM (Score: 198)

- RAM Speed: 12680 MB/s

CPU Tests (Score: 486)

- Floating Point Operations/Second: 102691732

- Integer Operations/Second: 440444248

- MD5 Hashes Generated/Second: 1224601

Graphics Tests (Score: 775)

- 3D Frames Per Second: 2054

Hardware Tests (Score: 49)

- Primary Partition Capacity: 443 GB

- Drive Write Speed: 181 MB/s

As you can see the first computer has much higher scores which tells us that its RAM, CPU and graphics are all better than the windows 7 home premium therefore it is overall a higher quality computer system. How the windows has a higher score on the hardware test telling us its hardware capacity and speed are better. However overall the Intel computer system is better and would be the best one to get.
