Windows Experience Index goes down with more ram and faster proc.
I added 1GB of Corsair XMS CL2 ram to the 2GB I already have. I lost .1 on
the memory Index. I then went from a 3.4GHz 512\800 cpu to a 3.4 Extrme Edition cpu and I drop .1 on the processor index. What gives? EG

The new 1GB of RAM you installed may be set at a different speed than the other RAM, if slower it could slow down the other RAM meaning slower RAM overall. The processor is tricky, you went from 3.4GHz to 3.4GHz, no improvement there, however with the "Extreme Edition" cpu, it may sound like a better processor in the ad but is actually set at a slower clock speed. Vista only recognizes generic timings set from the cpu, RAM etc. No different if you overclock your cpu, Vista, most likely, will still report it at the stock speed. Just guessing. RickB

True. The timing may be different in the BIOS for your RAM. Also, if you
added it and are running 4 sticks of RAM, instead of 2, it can go slower (don't ask me why, it just happens in benchmarks!). -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "RickB" wrote in message . ..
