The experience has to do with your system as a whole, anything else
change recently on your system? Honestly I'd take that score with a
grain of salt, use some other benchmarking program like 3Dmark06, that
should give you a slightly more accurate score of your system
performance.
Also the difference between 2 gigs ram and 3.5 gigs is going to be
minimal, if anything. The difference between 1 gig and 2 gigs is huge,
but from 2gigs to 4 gigs, not so much. In other words, toss em an invest
the $60 into something else.
