Interesting... I have more and better memory installed, so how am I LOSING ground on my stats? This system started straight from box as a 708, crested as a 712, dropped to 655 and now is a 684--and the only hardware changes have been adding a second HDD (Samsung Spinpoint 2TB), replacing the WLAN, trading the DVD for a BD-RE and replacing two of the sticks of 4GB "Brand X" with 8GB Corsair Vengeance CMSX16GX3M2B1600C9.

Anybody out in TV Land have any suggestions about what might be hurting my score? Could it be having other programs open while benchmarking that's killing me?
