Not a very consistent test I had times ranging from 21ms right upto 48ms when running it consecutive times

Maybe it depends on RAM timings? On my i3-3240 system it is fairly consistent I must say. The system has two different RAM modules from different brands with (slightly) different timings but one of the two modules has as timings CL11 11-11-28

What I see in Firefox in this test when I reload the page 30 times is that all the values fluctuate between the 19-24 ms interval.

Both in Firefox and Epiphany, the Intel i3-3240 achieves a result of 19 ms on Clear Linux:

Also in Speedometer 2.0 I see that this i3-3240 CPU with Clear Linux produces very stable results, 80% of the time it scores 107.x and once in a while it scores 106.x or 108.x

The system will run both sticks at the timings of the slower stick so that shouldn't make any difference at all

I believe these are the exact specifications of both modules:

G.Skill 4 GB DDR3-1600
1,5 volt
Timings CL11 11-11-28

Kingston ValueRAM 4 GB DDR3-1600
1,5 volt
Timings CL11 11-11-35

This is the only part where my system seems to be faster than yours, so it was the only explanation I could think of.
But if you look at my first post you will see that I also get better results with the AMD R 3400G PRO and it uses DDR4 memory with slower timings.

Maybe the difference is simply the browser then. Do you get different results when using Firefox 115?
You can reload the page several times by doing Ctrl + R in Firefox and then you will normally see that the values mostly stay the same and sometimes vary by 1ms or 2ms.

Now that I did the test again on the i3-3240, I see that it can achieve better results:

If you would like to know, your hardware is perfect for Clear Linux, and this is one of the fastest operating systems in existence in many areas.
You can always install Clear Linux in dual-boot on your system with windows.
What you can also do is install it permanently on a fast USB 3 flash drive, which is what I did. It's going to work very well with your hardware.

And both dimms will be running at those timings

As for Linux yeah na mate I'm happy with Windows 11 but thanks all the same

I am not an expert on RAM timings but most DDR4 modules seem to be CL16 18-18-38 which seems to me to be a lesser timing than my current DDR3 setup. I was able to buy the second module new for 9 EUR and it gives me much more RAM and in some situations 4% higher performance. For my next system, I have bought DDR5-6000 RAM but the timings are (much) less than my current super old DDR3.

I didn't mean you shouldn't use windows anymore. You can install Clear Linux alongside windows. Or you can permanently install Clear Linux on a USB stick, without changing anything about your current windows setup. It's not that much work actually, the Clear Linux installer is one of the easiest ones in existence. You can do everything in a very limited number of mouse clicks, that's all there is to it.

Once it is installed, you will see that almost everything will work automatically, e.g. you don't have to install AMD GPU drivers like you did in windows.

You strike me as someone who is interested in performance, and in some games Clear Linux is 35% faster than windows. Firefox is on average faster in Clear Linux than in windows. Overall, you can think of it as a free upgrade of your hardware to the R9 5900X.

Linux's AMD GPU driver is also the most stable GPU driver currently available. By which I mean there is no platform that has a more stable GPU driver currently.
And Linux's file systems have more features and IOPS than NTFS, so this too is a free upgrade, if you install it on the same drive.

When I activate uBlock Origin in Firefox 125.0.3 on Calculate Linux, I get a result of 18 ms.

However, when I deactivate uBlock Origin, I score 9 ms.

Websites that do not have ads are slowed down by an ad blocker. Websites with ads may become faster.

I may have to test whether sites load faster or slower with uBlock Origin activated.

I didn't think uBlock Origin could have such a big impact for websites that don't have any ads.
