ok, something king weird happened today...I have 1GB (512x2) Kingston HyperX DDR3200 RAM in my comp....last week, i found a great deal for 1GB Crucial Ballistics DDR3200 off another board and picked it up imemdiately thinking it would give me a nice boost....I ran 3dmark05 this morning cuz i knew the RAM was arriving today and scored a 3419.....I just got the set and after installing it , ran 3dmark again, and only scored a 3301!!! Now i'm definetly confused!!! What's goin on?!?!?

Is it dual channel? What about the timings? A lot of factors could change your score.

hmm, i dont know if its dual channel or not, i havent changed the timings yet, since they're different companies of RAM, how do i optimize the timings in my BIOS?

Don't worry, it's just like that sometimes. If your computer gets slow or unstable then you can worry.
