    RAM score


    Firstly hello, my problem is one that no one i speak to about can help me with, and that is the windows score for the ram i am using, originally purchase OCZ $GB gold, (2X2Gb) and worked perfectly until i wanted to play games, when it became obsolete and nowhere near powerful enough, this ram scored at 5.9, now i have a friend who has just upgraded from the 6gb triple channel ocz gold at 1600mhz as standard, this has now been placed in my pc as single channel running 4gb and overclocked to 1800mhz and remains at the same score of 5.9 yet one a test before purchasing for a extremely great price on my side it has dropped from 7.8 to 5.9 again, could this be caused by a dodgy motherboard and not the ram after all?

    What made you think your memory was obsolete? You also need to keep in mind that the WEI score is not a benchmark, and is about as unreliable as they come. Most of us run WEI once when we install Windows 7 to make sure Aero is running and never look at the score again.

    Play some games and see how they run. That will tell you if there's a performance issue or not.

    Where are your games stored?

    On your old HDD or have you reinstalled them onto your SSD?

    I am just trying to get an idea as to why they are not loading.

    Did you install them onto the HDD and choose the "custom install" option when installing?

    Or are they still installed from before you got the ssd?

    when i installed the ssd, i formatted the hdd, and upon re installation onto the pc, i chose custom as it was the only way i was able to select the hdd over the ssd. should i uninstall and reinstall trying a different method?

    Well it sounds like you have done it the correct way.

    Have you tried opening the games from their location on the HDD to see if they load?

    i.e goto start menu then computer select the drive then program files , look for a game such as gta iv then click on the gta iv application file to run the game.
