    I ran pcpit stop and got this message about my memory:

    Memory performance of this system 4384 megabytes per second, is significantly lower than average. Systems with the same processor and amount of memory typically perform at a level of 6342 MB/s.


    i got 1.5 G 5300

    Is there something I can do to fix this?

    Set your power profile to always on. Right click your desktop, properties, screen saver, power, and set the power scheme to Always On. I had this problem too until I set it to that. Not that there's really any performance boost in anything, but it's nice to know :D

    What? I'm confused now. I don't know why Windows power management causes a reduction in memory bandwidth, but it just seems to. Do what I suggested and the benchmark should get full bandwidth. And as far as I can tell, I've yet to see any performance difference on my computer between the 4000MB/s and the 7900MB/s. That's what I was saying.
