    I've got a Clevo M570TU with the following specs:

    Core 2 Extreme X9100
    1GB 9800m GTX
    4GB DDR3 PC10600 (supertalent)
    320GB Hard disk

    I've just noticed that in windows Vista experience test the Ram only scores a 5.0, and I've seen older DDR2 score way better than that.

    Also my results for Ram benchmarking in Vista and XP (everest Ultimate Edition) are:

    Read: 6839 MB/s
    Write: 4789 MB/s
    Copy: 4799 MB/s
    Latency: 80.8 ns

    Timings are: 8-8-8-20

    It just seems weird that older DDR2 PC6400 can score better than PC10600.

    I don't know much about ram but isnt the PCxxxxxx rating meant to be the maximum bandwidth in MB/s?

    Can you get the driver and bios from Clevo or do I have to go through a reseller as my resellers (metabox) website is years out of date.

    Maybe the RAM is bottlenecked by the processor. The proccesor mut be also able to sustain those speeds.

    When I try to update the bios i get this error:

    Cannot flash if Memory Managers (e.g EMM386) present

    How do I get around this?
