    Re: Which DDR 2 scores 5.9 on Vista?

    My 2GB of crucial ballistix 800mhz get 5.9 unclocked. From what I've heard and seen as well, I wouldn't be too bothered about the ratings either. Although I have been trying to overclock my cpu to get a perfect 5.9 score....

    I have only tried it with RAID 0 and it always seems to come up 5.9 whichever drives i have used.

    Because vistas ratings are copletely useless. Have you made sure that the timings in the bios are all set?

    Re: Which DDR 2 scores 5.9 on Vista?

    Put it this way. My memory (for reference, 8gb Corsair 800MHz C5) scored 5.6 or something when this PC was first set up. A few installs later for drivers and things and it magically went up to 5.9. Generally benchmarks have little relevance. The Vista benchmarks have none whatsoever.

    From last time I checked I got:

    CPU: 5.7
    Memory (4x sticks of non-matching): 5.2
    Everything else was 5.9.

    It's just a stupid little cursory benchmark though, and holds little (if any) real-world validity.
