I received my 16GB (4x4GB) of RAM for my Sandy Bridge build today and popped in 2 sticks and with 8GB at a lower 1400MHz gives me a 7.3 WEI score. Maybe I'll try the 4GB set again with the slower speed and see if it changes anything, just to see if it gives me a good WEI score, however, the other memory benchmarks say it's running fine as is. although, my video card scores went from 7.0, 7.0 to 6.9, 6.9 when I lowered my ram speed.
For your system, your video card doesn't pull any memory from your system, unless you have integrated video going for a second monitor or something. but even if you do, you have 8GB of ram and you will still be over 4GB total.
I just saw the new Vertex 3 SSD's and thought I would share the link....
OCZ Vertex 3 120GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive (VTX3-25SAT3-120G) [VTX3-25SAT3-120G]
They look real good, but unless you have SATA III (6Gbps), you won't get much if any advantage over the Vertex 2. If I bought a SSD today, the Vertex 2 would be it. In a few months, who knows, lol. A Guy
Just finished this build last night. Cpu seems low at 7.6? It's at 4.3GHz, so I'm guessing the low score is due to no hyper-threading.
