Since the Vista score measures throughput, 4GB will generally score lower than 2GB (even if it's faster). But don't worry, even if your score drops, Vista generally runs faster with more RAM, especially when loading any program that manipulates large files (including games).

I wouldn't worry about your score. I went from a 5.9 (old mobo 2GB DDR400MHz) to a 5.4 (new mobo 4GB DDR2 800MHz). Then I added 4GB (8GB total) more and dropped to a 5.0. But my system is faster when encoding video, compressing files and loading games.
