| RAM Vista scores Why does my decent £100 corsier 2GB of RAM score lower than 2GB of HP RAM?! I get a score of 5.3 and HP stuff gets 5.5, makes no sence to me! All of my components are better than the HP box too. Not realy an issue, just bugs me, any ideas?! |

| Indeed, might be worth hand setting the RAM frequency, voltages and timings. SPD has come a long way but motherboards don't always (or rarely) agree with SPD unfortunately. Originally Posted by Agent

| I've got HP ram (667) in my box, and I get 5.9 Ram score. Not particularly impressed with a CPU score of 5.4 though! My RAM timings (according to CPUz) is 5-5-5-15 |

| Yeah running at 800mhz. Just doesnt make any sense to me, makes me think I should have spent £100 on 4GB instead of 2GB or £50 on 2GB and just settle for cheaper RAMwhich might have given me a better score although I am sure the score does not really matter! |

| Are we talking about the built-in performance rating here? If so, you know that's about as reliable as.....something utterly unreliable, right? My 3GHz Northwood and PC3200 RAM scores 5.6 under Vista..... |
