RAM

Not sure how I managed to post a blank one above .....

Anyway, just installed 2 gb RAM from an one Vista machine into another.
Windows experience gives it a score of 2.6 whereas in the other machine it
was rated 3.8. Any ideas on what might cause the difference.

Cheers,
Mike

Unless both machines are identical in regards to motherboards and ram
requirements for same then yes that makes perfect sense. A little more info
would be most helpful..

Timing. If the board doesn't support as high a timing, or has to step down
the timing to match other internals, then it will reduce the performance
score.
