Dell Dimension 8200 Memory Problem
Dell Dimension 8200 Memory Problem
Today I just received my new processor for my Dell Dimension 8200. I upgraded from a 2.0 GHz, 400 bus, 256 L2 processor to a 3.06 GHz, 533 bus, 512 L2 with Hyper-Threading. The new processor runs at 2.3 GHz since I do not have the Dell Dimension 8200 with the 533 bus. I knew this before updating the computer. However after running the Windows Experience Scoring I went from a 4.2 score in memory to a 3.3 score. The processor went from a 2.6 score. The following is the build on this computer. 1024MB (4x256 ) Samsung PC400 45NS RDRAM running as duel channel. Any Ideas?
