    WEI went down after increasing RAM

    Hey there.

    Im a little confused because i just increased my computer's RAM from 1gig to
    2gig and my WEI went from 4.1 to 4.0. Not that it makes much difference and
    the RAM appears to be working fine, but i wondered why this has happened.
    Woulda thought it would go up, not down! :-S

    Not too much of a drop, is it.. difference in actual quality, whether memory
    is well matched, or matched at all can reduce the score..

    Is the 4.0/4.1 your overall rating or your memory rating?

    I have seen my overall rating drop .1 twice with no hardware changes at all.
    The tests are not completely unaffected by the environment on your PC.
