 |
|
I paid for
" [1024MB X2] DDR2-800 PC6400 Memory Module Corsair-Value or Major
Brand "
but what CPU-Z shows:
Slot 1
Mushkin DDR2 400 Mhz PC2-6400 1024MBytes correction none EPP no
Slot 2
Mushkin DDR2 400 Mhz PC2-6400 1024MBytes correction none EPP no
Now to the lamen (thats me), I read "DDR2-800" to mean 800 Mhz... but
I'm only getting 400 Mhz. Is this the right nomenclature?
Im a little paranoid, because the shop that I ordered this pc from is
a 1 man operation with no store front. |

DDR2 400Mhz = DDR 2 800, because DDR double the clock rate.
You can't change the DDR2 number without affecting the PC number. In other
words, to rip you off, he would have had to have given you DDR2 400 Mhz
PC2-3200 memory. |

CPU-ID say 400 Mhz..Thats what it should say ...your DDR2 memory does 2
things for each clock
so 400 x 2 = 800 .
If you want to worry over something..consider the timings ...the top 4 in
CPU-ID are the most
relvant ....what you got ??? 5,5,5,15 ....maybe . 12.

Thanks, the Timings Table shows 2 columns:
Frequency 266 Mhz 400Mh
CAS# Latency 4.0 5.0
RAS# to CAS# 4 5
RAS# Precharge 4 5
Tras 12 18
Trc 16 23
Under timings:
Cycle Time (Tras) 31 clocks
Bank Cycle (Trc) 23
Command Rate: 2T
Is this Corsair value better? |
