First, why don't you clicl my system specs in the lower left corner of your post and edit specs. List all hardware so we can know how best to help. But I suspect that the 2, 2GB sticks are hurting your scores.

ok thanks, have updated my basic specs. I'm running a shuttle SH55J2, with intel i3-530.
I can try taking out the 2x2Gb sticks and running winsat again.
The 2 ram gurus are A Guy and Dave76. They will be here soon. But you can run mixed pairs with some difficulty, but it is always best to run matched sets.
This is why I hate threads like this. After reading through hundreds of posts it seems my number is low for my system. What do I do? Something else to obsess about .
I swapped one of my ram sticks out and put it in the oppesite color bracket and walla I got 8 Gigs usable again
i had only 3.95 usable and the rest went to hardware reserve ?
For what reason I don't know especially if my Vidcard has it's own ram etc...
Because that's why there are 2 colors of dimm slots. You have 2 controllers on your CPU. 1 color dimm for each controller. You have to put 2 dimms in the same color to be in dual channel.
