dram frequency ddr2 667 cpu-z shows 333

[shrn]

zx-i945lm4, p4 2.80, ddr2 667, because of low performance i check by cpu-z it shows dram frq=333 at 3:5

Its double data rate so you multiply it by 2 -- 333x2=666; thats just how CPU-Z reports it

DDR2 = 333 x 2 = 666 , so it's showing right.

You are using DDR (DOUBLE data rate) so need to take the true freq as shown in CPU-Z's memory tab times 2 to get effective freq of near 667 - can find a couple more tidbits about CPU-Z in an info thread I wrote here:

WHAT? ^

Blackbird you beat me to it 😉 so I'll double that with another What!!!!! needs to actually look at it - CPU-Z even displays the FSB to DRAM ratio right under freq (at least I'm pretty sure it the spot under, will correct myself if I'm wrong

Yep it's there - mines 1 to 9 on this rig

The cause of low performance should be the Pentium 4. It is time to upgrade if you have the coin. If not, I suggest you use Linux instead of Windows, your PC will perform better. Try Lubuntu.
