I hit the refresh and this is what was in blue text:

select benchmark, memory latency, then hit the refresh

is that fast, it's all greek to me?

it's just a confirmation of what I already knew, your ram is crippling/choking your cpu's performance

blu's should be close to mine

hence his faster times, latency is all about waiting(wait states), lower less waiting, faster ram performance

when I was testing my box with a video benchmark, I found that I was faster with 512 megs of ram than a gig. The 512 megs had a lower latency

so 2GB' of DDR2 667MHz cas 4 or cas 3 (dreaming) will get more out of the CPU. Cas 4 is more my price range, cas 3 is about $330.00 CAN and cas 4 is $180.00 CDN. Funny, one online retailer was pushing Kingston RAM on me.
