Guys GPU-z shows SDR ram in my hd 5650 is this normal ?

The rating of my memory seems low is this normal ? I have 3 GB ram. Is it because 3 gb ? Or do I have low frequency ram ?

most likely due to the lower amount of ram you have.

Everything is working fine with my 3820tg so far, but I hear a little electronical voice coming inside from the machine... It is not hdd... Hdd is very silent but this noise is like electronical whistle and when I put my ear close to keyboard I hear it better. It is like the disturbing sound we get from some electronical devices like old tv s. It is like a bit very thin mosquito sound. Is it normal...? Or are my ears extra sensitive ? DO you all have it ?

i get that too but i have to listen into to it very closely ina quiet room to be able to hear it. its like a very light bussin noise. its probably a capacitor squeel ad you only hear it under load.

Thats just read error from GPU-Z, its got DDR ram not SDR.

I noticed with 8GB of ram the score jumps to 6.x and with 4GB of ram I get 5.9 as a rating. So 5.5 for 3gb seems about right to me.

My rating is as follows:



Ram will always be the lowest, due to the 1066Mhz ram Vs 1333Mhz systems. Second the harddrive.

I want to swap the WD 640GB HDD in my 5820TG for a Momentus XT 500GB.

How could I sell the WD that came with it ? I don't want to buy the XT until I sell this first. it's a budget issue + I already have too much storage between internal and external drives.

I'm in Canada if anyone is interested in a WD 640GB HDD.

WEI is really pretty useless.

After upgrading CPU from i3-350m to i5-460m, as well as swapping the memory sticks to now include 4 gig of Samsung, no matter how much I rerun WEI, it always now shows 7.2 for memory (win7 32bit). Memory was 5.9 prior to swapping parts.

I officially hate the bi-lingual keyboard. That didn't take very long. You literally can not locate the left shift key with your finger without looking. I'll snap in my old keyboard before I leave this morning.

I downloaded a program called sharpkeys and remapped the key next to shift to also be shift. It has helped allot. I still have problems missing the enter key because, although it is bigger, it doesn't extend to the left as far as a US keyboard enter key.

Remember to delete old WEI.

That's a good solution, I need the left shift key for starcraft 2. I'm gonna do the same.
