I ran memtest86+ and my ram bandwidth seems really low. It is at 4250mb/s which seems low compared to even lower speced ram. Do I maybe have a setting messed up or does 4250 sound normal.

System-
AMD 435 x3
MA785GM-US2H mobo
4 gb (2gbx2) patriot pc6400 gaming ram
9600gt
450w generic psu

I don't think that memtest86+ is reliable at all when it comes to measuring your L1, L2 or L3 cache and also RAM speed. Why don't you try a proper benchmark and see if your system is tuned properly!
