How to get 5.9 score for RAM in Vista

[Dyumani]

hie,

I have a Dell Laptop in which I have installed Windows Vista. Well, I am getting the score of 5.5 for the memory section(RAM) . However, it gives the score of 5.9 for everyone except RAM. I know the minimum requirement for the RAM to get the score should be 2 GB and that is what I have....What should I do to get the score upto 5.9 for RAM in Vista ?

please help.....

Windows Vista not only test the size of the memory i.e how much RAM you have installed (1gb, 2gb or 4 gb) but it also determines the speed and the bandwidth of the memory i.e how fast it is. The memory seems slightly slower than whatever it should be. It may be because of some latency timings. Try to clear all the cookies and temporary files and then check after rebooting....

I have 2 GB Corsair XMS DDR2800 RAM which is set to 4 x 512 sticks. And I am getting perfect score of 5.9. It's nothing to do with the size of the memory, may be it's the type of the memory which should be noticed. Which type of memory do you have ? Get DDR2 one, it works the best...

I was also facing the same issue few days back...I have a 4GB of RAM and everything showed 5.9 except my RAM which showed 5.1. I disabled one of the CPU cores into my BIOS. And when I ran the WEI score again, I got 5.9 for my RAM as well.
