Hi. I've only had this PC for about 2 months now and whilst it fast for video editing & gaming, the RAM bandwidth seems low for my type of memory (4GB Corsair TwinX DDR2 8500 Dominator 5-5-5-15). I hope someone here is familiar with my type of system to help out please since I bought the best RAM I could afford - see signiture for brief details on this. My mobo is a BFG 680i SLi with latest BIOS.
I tested the memory bandwidth using SANDRA on XP 32bit three times and heres the screenshot of the highest score:
Does anyone here will have similar scores for 8500 rated RAM or is this low. The RAM is rated 1066mhz speed/2.2v. It would be better if I could compare to similar RAM here because the RAM in SANDRA for comparison isn't too good. How do you work out the bandwidth for my CPU + RAM to work out if the RAM is creating a bottleneck overall.
More detailed PC info is on my profile page. Thanks
