Oh no! I won't be able to see crappy biased comparisons and benchmarks...

That don't actually work. My system can tell what memory I have, but you can't? Fuck that website

My system can tell what memory I have, but you can’t?

Wait, I'm confused about this. Are you upset the site can't tell what RAM you have. Because I'm pretty certain there is no way a site could tell that.

You give it permissions to scan. It can tell what processor, MB, and GPU I have. But not memory? Or can't clock the speed? It's a crap matrix to measure your computer's performance and useless. It's just an elitist score board. A working rig is good enough. We all want the next big thing.
