Maybe because the benchmark only used 1 core,. !>?

Some things only use 1 core, others use multiple cores. So if you average it out, it's possible to get a lower score than before. But in actual real life, a lot of things also use only 1 core.

Kinda weird,. lower score with i7 2.67 and 3gig DDR3 then QUAD 2.41 and 4gig DDR2,..!>?

gonne run the test again,. after i have tested 3dmark,. ;p



EDIT: i think i still got to restart because of a directx install,.

I don't think PCMark05 can use 8 cores. I think it only uses 4 (maybe except video encoding).

And (lower frequency) DDR3 might not actually be faster than DDR2, because DDR3 has more latency. That's why DDR3 is not worth it these days, especially considering the price, but Core i7 can only use DDR3, so I guess you had no choice.
