    Is 667MHz memory really the bottleneck that WEI of 4.8 implies...

    If it is, then what can we do about it?

    No, WEI is a really bad benchmark, usually, it would be your RAM but you have 2GB so that is not a problem it is probably be your HDD, if it is a 5400RPM.
    I have only 1GB ram and I get 4.5, when i put 1.5GB in, it stayed the same.

    Vista's WEI is a useless benchmark (if you want you can set that memory score and all the rest of them to 9.9).

    Besides 667mhz is the fastest ram that current notebooks can handle (800mhz modules will still down clock to 667mhz) so this isn't anything for you to worry about. Forget about what WEI tells you and just use your notebook.
