I upgraded from 2GB of memory to 4GB of memory in my Vista x64 gaming rig and experienced a bunch of problems.

First, my machine only recognized 3GB of the installed 4GB. A friend told me to fix this I just had to enable mapping around the hardware memory hole. And that worked as far as the machine would recognize that 4GB were installed. Although right away there were a bunch of other problems. It caused popping in my speakers and didn't recognize a lot of my hardware such as my microphone, printer, and sound drivers. Also the index score for memory went from 5.2 with my 2GB to a 4.0!

Got a question to ask. My vista score 4.5 on memory with 2* 512 ddr2 ram. Today i just bought 2*1GB DDR2 ram 667 and it seems that after update my score it still at 4.5 on memory. Why? Btw, my notebook is using 950GMA.
The big question is why 2GB VS 1GB i still got the same score? Even update twice also same. Both only 4.5 leh..Anyone care to explain why?
Also done deleting all the file in Data Store. After running perfomace assement again, it still gave me 4.5 on my memory. Same stuff. Wonder why.. The only different upgrading from 1Gb to 2Gb in Vista Performance Index is Graphic section. Previouly when running on 1GB it score 3.2 and after upgrading to 2GB it now shows 3.3. A mere + 0.1 on graphic? Maybe this is because it's shared ram in GMA 950.

hey guys, i am trying to update my score but this time it wouldn't, I tried it before and everything was working as it should be.. I would always end up with a base score of 4.2 but now since i re-installed vista and switched back from my old graphic card to my usual ATI card, whenever i try to update the score, it would do the checks and all but it never updates the score, it stays on 1.0 and the Exclamation New hardware detected stays. I'd appreciate any help on that!

I upgraded my RAM, when I went to check new Windows Experience Index base score, it shows that it is unrated. When I click the "Unrated Link", the "rate and improve your computers performance" screen does not have a "Update my score" link. Went to...
