Oh yeah, I'm having a great experience! I didn't ask because I'm dissatisfied (I'm very satisfied!) I just wanted to make sure I don't have some setting wrong that's preventing me from getting the most out of my machine. I now see by many posts that 5.9 - 6.1 is the highest WES you can get unless you have an SSD. Thanks for the replies, all! Tom Lake
