Answer 1

5.2 is good ... especially if you only have 2GB of Ram.

It's only a number, who cares!  It won't effect your user experience.

Answer 2

Well I would tell you to get new ram but thats just me.  The score means basiclly nothing anyway, but if your looking for new ram here a site that can help, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...  This i the ram I will be running when i get my new computer and its really good.  I think that number is bs anyway.  I only have a 4.1 score and i have no problems. but its up to you.

Answer 3

That isn't terribly low, my rig is running at 4.5, and has more ram, with an 8600 instead. Mine is also a core 2 duo processor. I imagine your score is determined by your ram. It is determined by the part with the lowest score.

Answer 4

I think that adding a couple more gigs of ram would help out. I have 8gb of ram and im running at 5.6.
