Confused about MHz

[William-Mathew]

Hi

I am new to all this stuff but i have just downloaded CPU-Z to check the MHz of my ram. I do not understand any of this so could someone please explain which is the MHz of my ram.

The Mhz of your ram is the 803.6 called DRAM frequency.

Your ram is actually 1600mhz but as it is DDR (dual data rate) CPU-Z will show it as half, aka 800mhz

Your ram is running just over 1600mhz - you need to double what's being shown as your running DDR ram (double data rate).

Single channel mode rather than dual.

Okay, that know makes a lot more sense. Thanks for your help
