Well, since I got my quad a little while back, it just didn't feel as good as the one I had some time back. Not major slowness, just general sluggishness. Wasn't sure if it was just me.
Tried an e5200 and the system seemed snappy again. Could not understand why. So I tried putting back in my old 4x1GB Geil modules (instead of the 4x2GB modules), and the quad feels as snappy as a quad should again!
This "slowness" even occurred with only 2x2GB modules in. Why would this be? All modules were running at their rated 800MHz, etc. Seems odd that it would only be with the quad and the 2gb modules...
