Hey all new to the board here… here is my question.
I took my Core 2 Quad Q6600 that had XP on it and I installed Vista Ultimate x64. I also put in a new GeForce 9800 GT and all is well. My Windows Experience Index rating is 5.4 and that is based on memory being the lowest number. I only had 3 gig in at the time. So I was planning on putting 8 gig in the machine and I did that last night. No issues installing and everything booted up nice and is running fine. The memory I put in is 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel. So I rerun the Experience Index and this time it only goes up to 5.5. I was thinking that the more memory would boost that higher? Or is that based on the speed of the memory and not the quantity?
Thanks!
