Fail - Phenom II x4 940

[wonderwrench]

All the memory bar this 1 stick has been rma'd to ebuyer.

Crucial 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Memory CL6 1.8V
Qty: 2 will be fitted tomorrow morning.

Once fitted I will run another test, I just hope to God there is a noticeable improvement.

So your going to run 8 gigs? Four 2 gig modules? If so keep track of each pair (kit). Mark one kit some how, marker tape etc. Place one pair (kit) in the blue slots and the other kit in the white slots. It is not uncommon to have stability problems running all slots populated at full rated speed. If you have problems. Try manually setting the memory to 666 mhz instead of 800 mhz.

CPU result (among others) is low. Are you running on all cores? Also check the PerformanceTest Edit / Preferences window to see that you are running at least 4 processes.

Also did you do a clean install of windows 7 after you changed CPU's? If not windows may be confused. Take a look in device manager under processors.
Does it list the correct name for all four cores? If not delete all cores and reboot. Your CPU, Memory and CD scores are really low. The memory score being low could be caused by the low CPU performance. What type of CD/DVD are you using for the CD test? Best results are obtained using a pressed DVD.
A original (pressed) windows Vista or Windows 7 install DVD is what I use and it works well. My HTPC score for comparison.

I did some searching and your results look about right. Have you tried searching for baselines using "Find Same CPU+Video Card" in download baselines?

Hey any updates on your system? Hope it running good for you.
