| | Windows Experience Index of 4.1 I have recently added an extra 1gb of RAM to make my total RAM up to 3gb. However, the Windows Experience Index score for RAM stayed at 4.1. Is there any reason for this or is it just Vista being stupid again?

My view is that what the index mostly does is confuse people, and it would have been better if it weren't there at all. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Turns out that my mobo (it's not cutting-edge) actually reduces the bus speed when more than 2 gigs is installed.

I guess the Xeon's capabilities don't match up with the algorithm Vista uses to measure CPU performance. |
