Memory speed?

bloodhunter · 14 Aug 2011 at 12:45

I have an HP laptop which according to the spec on the HP website was shipped with 800mhz PC2-6400 DDR2 but when i run CPU-Z in the memory section it shows it as being a frequency of 333.2 if that makes any sence.

Looking at the memory modules themselves they give no information on the labels attached.

Am i missing something.

Thanks.

The are two different makes fitted, a Samsung 2gig stick and a Micron 1 gig stick.

They are showing as PC2-6400 (400mhz) max bandwidth so does this mean they are only 400mhz and not 800mhz according to the laptop spec?

Just been looking at CPU-Z again and it shows the timings as 5-5-5-15 at 1.8volts so i reckon this will give my laptop a bit of a boost with a higher frequency and an additional 1gig memory.

Thanks for your helpfull replies and clarifing what it means. It is a 32bit OS at the moment but will have a 64 bit installed soon as the hardware is all 64 bit compatible.
