    I have a dv6000z notebook and was getting about 3300 on the memory test of PCMark05 with 1GB pc4200. I just bought some new OCZ memory, 2x1GB pc4200 with 4-4-4-8 timings, but my memory score dropped by 100 points! I'm pretty sure the latencies are the same, why would the score go down?

    Trouble loading something? A bit of fragmentation? I get those kinds of fluctuations just running the test twice.
