Hey all ,

my m8 asked me to fix his pc cuz it kept on crashing etc.
I chose to format his hdd and re-install vista (as thats what hes using)
all went perfectly fine and it is up and running. Here is his spec:

Mobo: Asrock 1333 Full HD
cpu: q6600 @2.4ghz
RAM: DDR2 800mhz 2Gb
GFX: MSI ATI RX2900 XT
HDD : 320GB

So my question is, his ram is supposed to be giving 800Mhz but in CPU-Z i only see 260,9 Mhz this is during idle. Here is a screen of cpu-z

Is this correct ??? is it running at 800mhz? and another question i got different brand (OCZ) 2GB ram @ 800Mhz lying around. Could i add this to his mobo with out any conflicts or does it has to be the same brand / type ram sticks?

Thnx!

His ram is running at 520mhz, pop into the BIOS and you will need to manually setup the memory, voltage, timings and speed (these should be printed on the side of the memory module)

You should be ok adding the OCZ ram.
