| | Dell Dimension 8200 Memory Problem Dell Dimension 8200 Memory Problem Today I just received my new processor for my Dell Dimension 8200. I know it old but runs great as a media pc. 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.

| | To be honest I was expecting a real problem. These numbers are really nothing something to concern yourself over. |

| | Your RAM is the lowest score, that being the reason it went to a 3.3, the new processor might have something to do with it, but I cannot be completely sure. |

| | Replace the RAM with ddr 400 512MB DIMMs (or 1GB DIMMs if your system will support them) and you will see a noticeable improvement in performance, but really a machine that old will probably never be quick and snappy in windows 7. Using memory with a higher clock speed then the system was designed to support won't help/ |

| | This is a RD-Ram 45ns 400MHz ECC Ram computer so the ram is faster then standard DDR Ram so no improvement sinch it is the same speed as DDR 400. I would upgrade to 4 * 512 45ns RD-Ram 400MHz ECC Ram sticks if MadHacker would pay for them.  As it is one to one with the cpu. The memory score went from a 4.2 to a 3.3 why I don't know. All I changed was the CPU not the ram. Nothing else changed. |
