A friend and I bought the G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
(PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL6S-2GBMQ and we both have it
on our vista operating systems and we ran the performance test. His is
at at 5.4 and mine is only at a 4.7. My computer has higher scores in
everything else. Could you please help us to understand why this is
happening. I'm not sure if i can somehow tweak my RAM on my computer
or not. Thank you for your time.

Perhaps you installed the chips incorrectly? On most boards, each chip
of a pair of DDR2 chips is installed in the same colored socket. That is
"most boards". Check your mainboard manual for clarification.

Q
 
You need to check and see if if memory requires a voltage other than
the standard 1.8 and adjust in the bios. Also make sure the bios is
detecting the memory timings correctly and adjust manually if not...
