True. The only reason I was trying to "rush" this test is because you want to buy the Dell RAM off me, but if you're willing to wait a while longer, I'll happily re-do this test with longer timeframes. :wink:

I've done a lot of benchmarking over the years, and have found computers to be remarkably consistent - they do not vary much with multiple tests. But if it's the only way you'll believe the test was "real" I'll do each one more than once.
