What's your memory assessment speed?

Whats your NB freq?

you mean mine Bclk? since i have an i7 920. it is 190 mhz with a multiplier of 20 for the processor(3.8 ghz xD) and 10 for the memory.

A little newer score, with higher OC on the CPU and RAM.

DDR2 @ 1153MHz 5-5-5-15
CPU @ 3840MHz

After fixing some glitch in my mem config, I can now get ddr3-1824 @ 9-9-9-24 to run stable, with noticeably faster speed than the ddr3-1616 configuration ...

Stock i7 920

Your memory bandwidth is good and on par for triple-channel DDR3 memory. However, you're running two triple-channels of different sized memory (a 3x2GB kit and a 3x1GB kit, which is the only way to get 9GB on your PC).

Running this sort of arrangement is slowing down your cycles and hence your memory latency. I'd remove the 3x1GB (3GB) kit and just run the 3x2GB (6GB) kit. Chances are, you're not even using the full 6GB unless. 1.) you're editing video, or 2.) you're gaming with a DX10 compatible game and a horrible video card that has a small amount of video memory. But since you're running a 4850, I don't think number 2 applies at all.

Hey...Thanks...Maybe ill try that!!!

My mem assesment can fluctuate between 24K+ and 25K+ randomly. A 1.5GHz variation in bandwidth seems fairly large to me, but maybe not. Nothing else but the minor background stuff going on. Any idea what causes this?
