Hey, thanks for that programe, helped a lot,

says my rams at 333mhz, guessing thats beacuse ive not overclocked it / unbarred its speed or what ever in my bios? :)
 
You have to double what CPU-Z says as you're running Double Data Rate memory, so 333mhz in CPU-Z is really 666mhz.
 
ah thank you guys, really appreciated,

Slashiem, that site tells me i have ram but not exactly what type unfortuantly :)

thank you though.
