Here is the deal. The RAM score, has nothing to do with how much RAM you have, it is mostly the quality, and speed of the ram installed. You friend has "better quality" RAM. Also that he has a 4000+ instead of your 3800+ also will help the RAM speed, as well as his ASUS motherboard may even have a faster FSB.

So yes, your friend has the faster system. No question.
