Notice my PC slowing down recently. Got Patriot Extreme PC2-9600 1200mhx 2x1gb 5-5-5-12 on a Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 CPU.
Ran CPU-Z & under memory it says
DRAM 398.6Mhz
FSB DRAM 5.6
CL 5.0 clocks
tRCD 5 clocks
tRP 5 clocks
tRAS 5 clcoks
tRAS 15 clocks
Q - shouldnt the DRAM be 600mhz ? How do I know the 1200mhz memory is rnning correctly - so I can sell it on when I change/add more RAM ?
The clocks add up to 5-5-5-15, shouldnt it be 5-5-5-12 ?
As I have 2x 1gb, I was thinking of changing to 2x2gb but as 1200mhz is rare Im thinkingof getting 2x2gb 1066mhz or PC2-8500 - is that ok. If the PC2-8500 says CL 5-7-7-25, will I need to change any settings in bios? or is it ok to use ?
Help much needed
Thanks
