Sony VGN-SZ71 WN/C with 8400GS
The WEI score of this Sony model, when using the dedicated nVidia 8400GS is one point lower than when using Intel X3100 in Stamina mode.

Strange to say the least, but it proves that with the latest GPU driver, Intel has improved the performance on this graphic chip.

Why is one score gray and the other blue?

When you switch from Stamina to Speed, or vice versa, the WEI dialog reminds you of refreshing the scores, due to hardware changes.

In this case, it was the presence of either the Intel X3100 from previous setting or the nVidia GeForce 8400GS.

cheers ...
