Hi Latos35,
Checking the motherboard manufacturer's website for your board, it states
that it does not support dual channel mode, so that eliminates that line of
enquiry. However, run CPUID utility again. What are the figures on the memory
tab? These figures, otherwise known as SPD, are the figures that you need to
configure in the appropriate section of your BIOS. Try removing a stick of
RAM to see if that makes any difference. Try the remaining stick in all
memory slots. Repeat with the other stick. I would expect your score to be
higher, but not as high as mine, for the following explanation. My memory, as
stated in my previous post, is 2 x 1GB of DDR400 running in dual channel
mode. You have 2 x 1GB of DDR533 running in single channel mode (the only
mode your motherboard supports). Calculating the bandwidth yields the
following results (MB/sec = MegaBytes per second):
Dual Channel DDR400 = 8 x 400 x 2 = 6400 MB/sec (DDR400 is also known as
PC1-3200)
Single Channel DDR533 = 8 x 533 x 1 = 4264 MB/sec (DDR533 is also known as
PC2-4200)
If you were to replace your RAM with DDR667 (as suggested by Carey), then,
providing the system speed settings were correct, this would yield a
bandwidth as follows:
Single Channel DDR667 = 8 x 667 x 1 = 5336 MB/sec (DDR667 is also known as
PC2-5300)
This is an increase of 25.15% on the figures for DDR533, which, in theory,
should take your WEI score for this category to around 3.1. This is not
spectacular, but the main limiting factor is that your motherboard only
supports single channel. In addition, on my system, the memory controller is
built into the CPU, thus freeing up the system bus from having to transfer
memory data as well as other data.
