Windows Experience Index of 4.1
I have recently added an extra 1gb of RAM to make my total RAM up to 3gb. However, the Windows Experience Index score for RAM stayed at 4.1. Is there any reason for this or is it just Vista being stupid again?  Thanks guys.-- mspohLFC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mspohLFC's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=735 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25042

Windows Experience Index of 4.1
Memory is rated on operations per second, not on capacity. You'd have to
replace existing ram with a faster speed (assuming the motherboard supports it) to increase that factor. Personally, I wish they'd never put that tool in there. Too many waste too much time worrying about silly numbers. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "mspohLFC" wrote in message ...

I can vouch for that: I increased my RAM from one to three gigs and the score went DOWN. Turns out that my mobo (it's not cutting-edge) actually reduces the bus speed when more than 2 gigs is installed. My view is that what the index mostly does is confuse people, and it would have been better if it weren't there at all.

I guess the Xeon's capabilities don't match up with the algorithm Vista uses to measure CPU performance.
