Weird reading in CPU-z?

macca672 · 26 Apr 2007 at 11:20

oh have just run cpu-z to find out which sort of memory i have in my system as i was going to take advantage of the fantastic prices atm.

and i just want to make sure its reading correct, so i can buy the right type

I thought it should be PC-4200 not 4300 and i also thought 533mhz instead of the 266 its showing.

It may just be me being dumb so thought id check with some people who know what they talking about ... you guys

thanks for any advice.

Can't explain the PC2-4300 reading, but 533 is double 266 hence Double-Data-Rate (DDR)

EDIT: What mobo you got?

the mystery was solved on another forum

PC4200 and PC4300 are the same... 266 x 16 = 4256, so more accurately it should be PC4256
