Okay, gonna give an example so you can have an idea of what to look for:

There's an old screenie of my system @ 3.6 GHz DDR2-1080 5-5-5-15
Here's a current screenie of my system @ 3.5 GHz DDR2-1050 5-5-5-18

Now one might think that the first results should be faster, right?
When it comes to memory, not really actually.
Look at what i've noted on the last screenshot.
- Primary timings (always important)
- tRD aka Performance Level
A few things have changed.
TRAS 15 now 18
tRFC 60 now 52
tRD aka Performance Level 7 now 5.
The first two don't really affect performance.
But tRD does bigtime.
Latency scores in Everest go way down, & Read performance goes up (though write/copy lose a bit likely because of lower overall RAM speed).
Now it's possible your system is automatically changing some settings for RAM as well...checking what i mention will narrow it down pretty fast.
Another thing to check is dual channel staying enabled?
Post your results back, i can take a look at the screenies.
