    Hey guys..I have a stock 6860 and was wondering why the memory section of the Windows Experience Index scored the lowest out of all.. a 4.5. I'm sure its a dumb question but I ask cause I was hoping to upgrade the CPU later and if the memory has the lowest score I'll just be stuck with that low score. Also I dled cpu-z and it said my cpu was running slower than it should be..around 1ghz..why is it? Just fyi I ran all of this with the laptop plugged into the wall and on the highest power plan thing meaning low battery life.

    Also What are yalls Index Scores with upgraded CPUs?

    Thanks
