any good ram that gets 5.9 on vista ????

Please, ingore the Vista score, it tells you nothing. You probally wouldent notice the difference between 677MHZ and 800MHZ and even 1006MHZ in real life terms. 667MHZ is not slow. What memory have you got?

My 8gb (4x2gb) also gets 5.9 but I believe it's a lot slower than most (trading off size for speed). Either way it hits 5.9 but it means nothing really afaik.
 
Of course it meas something! just like many numerical benchmarks that show a difference in them but you don't notice the difference in real world applications & games unless you have made a big jump, but its all about getting the optimum out of your system because its the sum of all the tweaks that may add up to a noticeable difference where one will see none.

Getting 5.9 on vista tells that you are at the present peak of the vista rating at the time & have noting to worry about at present time depending on application.
I find vista rating to be a nice & quick basic tweaking benchmark,
My raided disks get 5.9 but when i ran unraided it got a lower score & it really was noticeable to the point that i will never run with out raid again accept for the backup drive but a slow HD speed does not make my games run slow once loaded so that would not matter if i did not care for slow access speeds but would if i was doing video/music work.

Low 3D gfx score would not matter if a did not play games but i do.
My mem is the the lowest part of my system atm at 4.5 because auto mem timings are crap on this mobo with this ram, but will be at 5.8 when i tweak the timings like before & a noticeable difference or would you lot not bother tweaking & leave it at 4.5 because the vista score means nothing right!.
Then again non enthusiast would not bother & your also forgetting that the avg pre-built consumer PC when vista came out would not get anywhere near the top end of the vista score & would be more significant not getting near 5.9 on todays top end custom built setup would be a cause for concern.

OP seeing as i can get 5.8 with DDR ram it my be a timing issue.

Go get a mental check, instantly ;)
No sane person judges anything based on the vista ratings!

Instead of attacking me personally, try using a reasoned counter argument if your capable of such a task which i very much doubt or you would have already done so.

Ok, fair enough. While the Vista rating system can give a certain indication regarding the capability of an aspect of a computer's hardware as it pertains to current performance expectations and future compatability, its insight is slightly less useful that what my mum can offer.

EDIT: Sorry for jumping in on this. I just think for most of us on these boards, we should discuss the reliability of the Vista rating system like we should discuss off-the-shelf PCs from mail order companies. In small amounts and always in the negative.

Why then do people who go from 2GB to 4GB see a often noticable perfomance increase in Vista, but often no change, or even a decrease in score.

Not only is it the only benchmark i've seen with a upper limit to the score, but its a stupid limit as well!

Because its not a good idea to have a debate with one side slinging insults.

Also i have not reached its limit so it may be a bit more using to me than others

But that is a change in hardware & is not what im on about because it is a known fact that different hardware will have different results with vista.

Im talking about using it a a basic measure of your own hardware & seeing if you can get it higher than it was before hand by tweaking but if you have already maxed it out it will be of no used to you.
I personally have been able to get some massive score changes from tweaking my setting.

You seem to be talking over the 2 threads on the same type topics more so with you claiming an individual is insulting others when I see nothing of the sort in the other thread and little of it in here.

Get over the Vista Scores cause they are BS. :rolleyes:

Well from your activity on these forums you would not notice many but the most harshest of insults.
I dont have a problem with the Vista scores :)
 
I have 5.9 score with completely standard 4x1 gb at 667 mhz...
Due to the fact that its currently on a gash Dell board i can not access memory mapping option to turn it off and so have to put up with being restricted down to 3 gb of RAM

I still have a 5.9 score though??
