hi

 i a newbie here and got two questions to ask

1. On my system, what should i upgrade to match each other, mean that to avoid any bottleneck ?

2.  In window exp index, memory score just the same 4.8, after add another 2*1 gig  kingston ddr2 667, it is normal?

Hi, I don't know how to determine the source of performance bottlenecks (I think it depends a lot on what you hope to improve the PC for - gaming, image editing, or simply start-up and program-loading times). With regards to the memory, perhaps it is the memory performance (the speed and timings) which prevents it from gaining a higher score? I don't know for sure. This reply is just to placate you until someone smarter arrives on the scene. :)

Hi there,
to answer your second question.......

My info regarding the Windows Experience Rating is, I admit, a little old now, but I know that when Microsoft first used this in Vista the Maximum score for RAM was: <1.5 Gb's = 4.5.
Now I know that they have tweaked with the W.E.I in Windows 7 but I am pretty certain that this same condition applies. eg: If you have 2 gig of RAM and your rating is x.8 then adding another 2 gig would make no change to this rating it will stay at x.8. Basically, to increase the score above x.8 you would need faster RAM. (to be honest things are a little more complex than this but not sure how deep you want to go).

Have to fully agree with this. Could you let us know what you want from your PC, and or, why you think there is a bottleneck?
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Hi...All...
      I have read this very nice question I think it depends a lot on what you hope to improve the PC for - gaming, image editing, or simply start-up and program-loading times thank you :-[
