curse those AMD builds!lol nice score tho.
I think i'll be alright for now, when I do learn more about computers and have a decent amount of money to save up then, I'll shop around for components and add them to a wishlist type thing, then I'll mess around with the motherboard and from there I'll see what upgrades, if any I could do the the HP machine, and if it stuffs up then I can go a month on the laptop.
it should be at 1600mhz, is that because i have things running?
no that is a test of the memory transfer bandwidth of your ram, it is testing how fast it can transfer/read at in megabytes per second. 1600mhz is the frequency speed of the chips on the ram. when you go into the BIOS does it say your ram is running at 1600mhz? or have you got CPU-Z? that will tell you the speed your system is running at.
and that picture you posted is a good speed!
thats what its telling me. i guess that 534 is x by 3 since its tripple channel.
your ram is actually running at 1066mhz, its 533x2 (double data rate). so you will have to manually set it in the bios, make sure your voltage is set at the proper setting that OCZ state first, then adjust the ram to 1600mhz. let me know how you get on.
EDIT: IF your ram has major issues running at 1600mhz, then consider taking a look at this forum thread i just found through googling your ram model number. NOTE that an RMA is always the last resort, but hopefully not for you

OH and when you adjust the ram speed to 1600mhz, make sure you set all the timings onto AUTO first, that way it has the best chance of booting at 1600mhz.
your ram volt should be at 1.65v
this is the specs on them

Yeah, OCZ needs the juice! I have mine at 2.9v (for DDR, default=2.5v)
