The SPD tab in CPU-Z shows what frequencies, timings, and voltages are available for running that particular memory module.
The "Frequency" as shown in CPU-Z refers to the clock frequency that is supplied to the memory. But since the memory is Double Data Rate (DDR), the memory actually runs at two times the clock frequency. For example, if the Frequency shown is 1090 MHz, then the memory will run at two times 1090 MHz = 2 x 1090 MHz = 2180 MHz (or 2180 MT/s ~ Mega Transfers of data per second).
Usually, the memory frequency, timings and voltage is selected automatically by the computer system (BIOS) when memory is installed. But manual selection of memory frequency, timings and voltage which overrides automatic selection is usually...
