RAM speed

This is the output from CPUID however, i am unsure that the ram is running at its proper speed, as it shows 399.6mhz

Any headers for settings in the bios to adjust would be great, i have tried fiddling but did not have any luck.

Also, would i be better running with just two of the sticks? instead of both pairs?

You need to double what cpu-z shows, so your running your memory at 800mhz

Where am i looking? i only see 400mhz anywhere.

Sorry for being blonde in advance

In the second picture it shows DRAM Freq: 399.6, you need to double this as your running DDR memory (double data rate), Your memory is running at 800mhz

Youre looking for where it says '400 Mhz' (or 399.whatever), and then using however many (or few) brain cells you might have to multiply that by 2.

It can be difficult, 400 is a big number to multiply by 2. Maybe click on the start menu, go into programs > accessories > calculator and use that. You have to remember to type in '400', then click the '*' button, then click on '2', and finally click on '='.

Well you finally got the very simple answer you needed kg648 . . . I apologize for some other forum members who lack patience and feel "justified" in commenting on the number of brain cells you have? . . truth be told they probably don't know very much more about the hardware than you do!

Simple question = simple answer!
