Memory Speeds on SiSoft Sandra Increase Every Time I "Update" the Benchmark

[rpr]

When I first run the memory benchmark on SiSoft Sandra 2000 I typically get about 350/400. Every time I hit the update button it increases and eventually peaks at about 400/450. Any clues as to why this happens? Is this typical?

the most likely reason is probably the info they used to benchmark the memory is stored in you cache so it speeds up the second time & you should notice that after a certain number of time the score will have reached it's point. You should base your result on the first results only after restarting the computer. I always base my results after I have restarted the computer because then the memory is refreshed & the 1st thing i run is the memory benchmark & i always get the same score of around 349/407 the 1st time.

Makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.
