i have the latest bios, but yours is only one before and does not seem to have anything that could be causing the issue

Right... i remember what i did however, don't change it just yet as you need to either apply a patch/driver first or reinstall... so just check first
in the bios follow
Integrated Peripherals > MCP Storage Config> SATA operation mode >
i would imagine your one says [IDE] but really you want [AHCI]
i think this is what i changed and that gave me a new boast on the windows score.
let me know what yours reads

OK i got that working using this

so now running AHCI, as far as I can see its made no difference to my ram

lol! i said don't change it 
ok let me check my memory settings, do you happen to have a spare hard drive to hand? one you could do a install on? as after i realised that my wrong setting i did a reinstall.
i have the same memory and same amount..

OK hold fire...
one other last thing to try which i changed is this...
ENTER BIOS
Frequency / Voltage control > DRAM Config
> select manual
>change memory clock value to DDR 800
>change back to auto
you should notice the 800 stays in the settings, save and exit.
that is the correct speed for you memory. That may well do it. Falling that, try a reinstall on another drive with your now correct bios settings and you should get scores similar to mine

have you tried the bios memory settings? you don't need to do a reinstall yet! try this
ENTER BIOS
Frequency / Voltage control > DRAM Config
> select manual
>change memory clock value to DDR 800
>change back to auto
you should notice the 800 stays in the settings, save and exit.

well it did for me, i changed the ACHI and had the blue screen of death so reinstalled and had the better performance. I can't say for sure, its up to you my man
Ok thanks for your help dude,
I'll assume thats what the problem is, I dont have access to some of my install disks at the moment and to be honest can't really face a reformat right now.
Thanks again, Hows your new card by the way?

Hey Tom, strange one, i added my card and it reset the bios , i configured it and loaded into windows ran the test and i got 5.9 on the memory!
changed everything and reran the test and still 5.9, went back in and disabled the onboard graphics which uses some of the memory and it went back to 7.4!!
under device manger do you have this
or two entries one stating 8200?
