what is everyone's rating with 4gb memory ram on windows rating. i have 4.8 on 64bit basic. my asus g2k-a1 has 4gb memory on 32bit premium and it's rated 5.9. why is this? both are 5-5-5-18 ddr2 800.

On a 32 bit system, 4Gb is maxed out. 4Gb on a 64 bit system is just getting started. Could be the reason for the higher rating on a 32 bit system.

when vista business 32bit was installed on my m1730 it was still rated at 4.8 with 4gb. is it just the m1730?

The memory subsystem in the 1730 is slower I would be surprised with any rating higher than 5.0 on the 1730 without additional memory.

If it makes you feel any better my Desktop PC gets the same rating on memory in spite of the fact I have Corsair Dominator DDR2 in it.

5.0 here in an M1730 with 4GB of 667 from Dell.

wouldnt matter it would only run at 667 bit slightly better latency thus the 5.1 money is beter spent towards a better GPU or HDD
