You said your r/w score sucked. Compared to what? DDR / RDRAM?

You can bet your bottom dollar it will suck compared to those, simply because they're faster :)

However if youre getting unusually low mem scores and since you have a via board, I suggest you look out fresh drivers for the motherboard. VIA uses miniport drivers etc. which affect the performance a lot.
