RAM Clock

[electrohouser818]

Hello.
I have a quick question!
I just checked Cpu-Z and it shows that my memorys max bandwidth is 6400 (400mhz)
but the ram sticks are 800mhz.

oh and the timings are 6-6-6-18, is this good or bad?

specs:
AMD Athlon x2 64 5600+, 4gb ddr2 800mhz ram, ABIT AN52V mobo, xfx 8800gts.

P.S. im happy with the memory tho, windows 7 experience index gives the ram 7.0.

No worries there man, its all good. 400MHz = ddr 800

Timings - could have been tighter but still nothing to complain about

MaDMagik is correct:

400 MHz "DRAM Frequency" x 2 "Double Data Rate" = DDR2-800 MHz effective clock rate

800 MHz x 8 bytes per cycle = 6,400 Megabytes per second aka "PC2-6400"

My rams are at 917mhz in cpu z ^-^

oh cool. im not complaining at all as i said, windows 7 gives the memory 7.0!!

and "stevensl2" if 400mhz=800mhz, then i guess you have DDR3 1666mhz?

thanks guys
