I don't recall the exact reason but, I think it had to do with the additional chips that have to be addressed/accessed.

Maybe this is caused by a downgrading of latency, e.g. (in this example i´ll use an old DDR Ram) the original RAM can do a latency of 2.0 and the new added RAM only does 3.0. THis means the original RAM in the machine that does 2.0 must downgrade itsself to 3.0 because the new added RAM can't do any faster than 3.0. Maybe this is why you lose half of a point in the WEI??
