Out of curiosity, why 5GB RAM? What RAM modules are you running...? If you have something like two 2GB and a 1GB, you might possibly see more performance from taking out the 1GB and running the two 2GB modules in dual channel.

The other thing is the OS, do you have a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) version if Windows? If you have the 32-bit, your programs won't be able to use more than about 3GB anyway...

That's a pretty awesome score there! Not many DDR2 setups break the 10k MB/s barrier. Mine runs at about 8600MB/s with a small overclock.... What make / model of RAM you running there?

Hi, I have just a few questions to ask. I picked up a Dell XPS 430 barebones the other day and was able to move my cpu and everything over just fine. The only thing I couldn't move over was my memory since my old machine was DDR2 and this one is DDR3. Just so I could get it up and running and make sure everything works ok I got some cheapo DDR3 1333mhz ram of craigslist. When I run the test my speeds are only averaging around 6870MB/s. Isn't that fairly slow for DDR3? I had one test go just above 10000MB/s but that was it. I know it's possible that the ram is just cheap and not very fast, but still should it be that slow? My DDR2 800Mhz wasn't that far behind it.

The speed is likely to be limited by the motherboard and its bios settings. I doubt if the Dell would allow you much flexibility in changing timings and Vdimm to maximize your DDR3 ram.

 

[IggyAZ]

I'm so ashamed to put my numbers up. It is the slowest in the whole world.
Is it time for me to get another computer or what?
Can anyone tell me aboy FSB DRAM reading of 5:6 ?
Seems everone one else has 1:2?
Is my Bus speed set wrong or something?
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I know very little about tweeking memory/FSB

Yeah I know there's not much I can do with the board, but I don't want to mess with OC'ing anyways. I don't game or anything. It just seems like the numbers are still low for what the should be though. My parents computer has the same speed ram and it averages around 14000MB/s.

It's highly unlikely that it is a problem with your memory. If the memory was faulty you would get an immediate error or blue screen or some of it would not be recognized. The memory can only work as fast as the motherboard and its bios settings (in your case the default settings) allow it.

On the other hand if your parents computer is identical to yours then clearly you have a problem tied to your bios. Have you considered updating your bios from Dell?

Unless you are trying to squeeze out the maximum from your PC, slow memory is not the end of the world. The overall performance of the PC is far more important.

Memory performance, while important, is overrated. As long as your PC meets your needs and operates smoothly, that's all that matters. It's only when the system starts to misbehave or is unable to handle your preferred software that memory and other issues need to be examined and adjustments made.

No theirs is a different computer. Oh well it's not a big deal. It is still performing good, I guess I was just expecting it to be a little bit higher. Especially since I ran one test that was able to get over 10000MB/s.

One thing I did notice though is that CPU-Z on my comp shows it as Dual Symmetric, while my Parents shows it as Dual Unganged. Is there a difference between the two?

 

[Snakeyeskm]

Dual memory sticks are linked memory banks that are accessed by one controller. This allows them higher bandwidth. Generally the greater bandwidth does not necessarily improve overall performance. On the other hand unganged memory allows both memories to directly link to separate controllers on the motherboard. Theoretically, unganged memory can have greater efficiency since each controller can access each memory group separately. Practically speaking, these differences are negligible.

@Aksps: I have the same RAM, try tweaking the timings, here are my settings for orientation...
