nope its not paired with any other, just 2x1gb in dual channel. the highest vista score is 5.9 i think, which is what the rest of my system is rated at, but the ram is only a 5.6.

thanks

Hi,

I've recently built a new computer, with a q6600, 8800gt and 2gb of ram.

My ram though only scores5.6 in Vista, and it's 2gb of corsair XMS2 800mhz, with 4-4-4-12 timings.

my motherboard originally recongnised it as 5-5-5-18, but i changed this in the bios to its recommended ratings.

does anyone have any ideas why its only scoring 5.6?

Thanks very much

i really dont know which to get, im tempted by the Geil as they are reportedly good overclockers and slighty cheaper, but as you said Crosair is the better known brand.

thanks

hi can someone tell me if this Q6600 includes G0 stepping as the website only lists it as an energy efficient edition
