Low Vista Expirience RAM performance

Hello guys:

I recently bought a new pc and installed windows Vista 64 Extreme, thing is when i run the "Windows Experience Index" performance meter, it marks all maxed (5.9) but the the memory, which marks 4.8, which i think is quite low and could be upgraded with a thing or two that i may modify in a setting

This are my specs:

CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600
M/B: Zotac Geforce 9300
GPU: Geforce 9800 GT 550/DDR3
H/D: 320 gb SATA
Memory: 3 x Kingston modules (DDR2 2GB 667Mhz PC5300 box) (total of 6 gb ram)

I'm thinking it may be something i should change in the BIOS regarding the memory freq or something alike, but i'm far away from being an expert in this and it may as well be normal. Any advice is kindly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
You could overclock it but it wont make any difference to the Vista experiance number or your performance.... well, a negligable performance difference.

Why so much ram anyway? **** MS and its experiance number. A couple of years ago you'd need a damn expensive server to even support 6gb of ram.

You might want to try turning of the hybrid sli in the bios.
 
A score of 4.8 for the RAM is not bad at all. But if you really want a higher score, you might consider overclockable RAM, like Corsair or G.E.I.L.
