This is my rig.
...but still get this, which is on the high side for me.
What's your memory assessment speed? [2]

Kelly, that is about right for 1866, in fact, maybe slightly high. Pretty much what you would expect for 1866. I have 1866 in my P67 rig and get lower.

BTW, Kelly, the extra 1000 points is because you have 16GB and I have 8GB. It is not supposed to matter, but it does. I had 16GB of 2133 in the P67 and took 8 out to put in another rig. My score dropped 1000 points. So, it does matter to both yours and Gary's. I ran 8GB of 2133 in my Maximus board for a while and scored about 1000 points less than Gary. So, contrary to popular belief, the amount of ram does seem to matter.

That's good to hear, I ran the numbers several months ago, and for the money at that time, I made the decision that 1866 was the best value for me. To be honest, 1600MHz is probably more than enough, but...you know lol.
If there is one thing I've learned about RAM is, it's finicky. Now, we have a much larger frequency range, each with multiple latencies, at different voltages, and with the introduction of 8gb sticks, you can have 16gb of RAM with only 2 sticks! Now, we can get 2x8gb kits at varying frequencies/latencies that might outperform the same RAM in a 4x4gb configuration....choosing RAM is clearly a job for someone with mild OCD!

Whew just tried out my tester with the DDR2 and it only just makes just under a third of the speed of the Ivy Bridge at 6612
