RAM issues? What have I done wrong?

I recently ran userbenchmark on a back up pc. My gf uses this pc for emails and surfing, nothing intensive.

Benchmark reported my RAM was performing poorly (WEI said it was ok). In this machine I have 1 stick of Kingston fury x DDR3 1833mhz in slot 1.

I took ram out of my better machine and fitted it to her machine. That was 2x4gb sticks of mushkin radoactive at 1333mhz (2666), installed in slots 1 and 3.I then put her Kingston ram in my pc.

Userbenchmark still reports the Kingston running poorly in my machine and benches it at almost 41%.

My Mushkin ram RAM in her machine benches at 28%

Her machine is a GA f2a88xm dh3.

Do you think the issue is her board or bios? I've had a look in the bios and nothing jumps out at me.

I thought my 2 sticks of 4gb would out perform her 1 8gb stick.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

The moderators of r/hardware, which has over 1.1 million members, have made the decision that threads regarding the oft-maligned benchmark have no value and simply generate drama.

According to that thread, the UserBenchmark is useless and to not gauge your system performance on it.
 
What do those percentages even mean? I have no idea.

I'd bench it with something that tests CPU performance + memory bandwidth. Not sure which one, Cinebench maybe?
