Can anyone tell me why I get a Vista Performance Score of of only 4.7?
My lowest performer is the memory. I have 4gb (4 x 1gb) Corsair XMS 800mhz RAM. Even if I take out 2gb, I get the same score. I run 32bit Vista Home Premium & 64bit Vista Ultimate and get the same result.   Is there some way of sorting this problem out? I thought I should be getting a 5.9 score on memory! Thanks for any replies. |

I'd still have a go at rejigging the memory - I seen sticks that look identical, have same stickers, timings, speeds etc., - but for some reason have not been exactly the same* and the computer has kicked them back to single channel mode (so they can run independently of each other).
Literally it doesn't take much time to figure out - put one stick in a blue slot 1 then another stick in blue slot 2 and see if its still single channel in cpu-z, if it is take the stick out of slot 2 and put in one of the remaining sticks into blue slot 2 and repeat until it evetually does get dual channel  *hence why manufacturers often sell DDR2 memory in 'matched pairs' --------------------  |
