@Mandee - did your cpu cool down a bit? Maybe get a different heatsink?

I have a question - am I going crazy or did a computer upgrade lower my performance?


(#1 and #3 for comparison)

I can't figure out how this is possible. I am running 6 gigs of ram instead of 8 (when I moved the ram, I got a DIMM(s) checksum error) - would it account for that much performance drop?
