Laptop upgraded memory / Windows Experience Index question?

I know WEI (Windows 7, 64 bit) isn't exactly the best measure of performance, but...

I just upgraded my laptop memory from 4 Gb (2 x 2 Gb) to 8 Gb (2 x 4 Gb). DDR3 PC3-8500, 1066 Mhz. With the 4 Gb, my WEI for "Memory" was 5.8. After installing the 8 Gb, my WEI is now a 5.7. What the? It's only been an hour, and I haven't played with my laptop long enough to see if there's a notable difference, but just wanted to see if it was normal. Oh, my Windows 7 *is* picking up the full 8 Gb.

Thanks,

It could be higher latency memory you put in the system but I wouldn't worry about it.
