    This is a pointless (noooooob) thread, Windows index is of no actual purpose and its ratings are irrelevant.
    Ex. According to it crysis can be handled by a 3.0 scoring system, that is certainly not the case.

    By all means if you want to make a benchmark of different users systems, then go ahead, but at least use a reliable benchmark.

    Oboroten...How much RAM do you have in your system? I got mine with 2 GB and it displayed a 5.1 under ram then I upgraded to 2x2GB 667 MHZ RAM and the memory score didnt change at all.

    I read that wrong, I meant to say even with overclocking your RAM can't reach 5.9 heights. Do you have 8 GB? When I upgraded from 2 to 4, it does'nt seem to do anything.

    That doesn't matter at all. It's the speed that the RAM is running at.

    The WEI is not a benchmark.

    So Technically I would have to get 800MHz Ram for the ram score to increase?

    More than likely, yes. But it's not just the ram, but the FSB speed.

    if i'm not mistaken, your motherboard can't even run RAM faster than 667MHZ so windows couldn't have test that speed. the ONLY thing I can think of is latency, but laptop RAM chips don't have a wide range of latency values.
