Hi, I've just bought a RAM upgrade G.Skill 8Gb 1600@CL11 for my laptop Asus K52jr, which had 1066@CL7 memory. Which mode will it be running in? 1066@CL11? If that's the case is there anything I can do to make it faster, maybe it's possible to set the lower latency when the freq is lower? Though the bigger size, performance of the memory is a bit worse than previous. Unfortunately there was no other options available.

Oh well, I ran CPU-Z, and it showed my memory running at 7-7-7-19, 532MHz, which is good as I discovered my bios wouldn't let me adjust the timings if they were wrong. But how come Windows performance index is lower for 1600 ram than for 4 years old 1066?
