My friend built a pc with this and an i3-530. He has 2x 2gb (4gb) ddr 3 1600mhz ram, although its running at 1333 right now. His pc scored 5.9 on the windows scale for memory, he thought that was really low since I get 7.5 on my x4 with the same amount and speed of memory installed. I thought it was because I use an atx board and the itx board is a little slower. Is that score something he should worry about?
 
Well, Windows performance scores are basically a joke in my experience, don't put much weight in them.
 
run a real memory benchmark and compare it to other published values for h55 boards. its the only way to know if you have a problem. comparing amd to intel is usually not straight forward

Is yours running at 1600 or 1333?
