DDR2 speed

[rszanti]

I just ran CPU-Z to find what chipset I had. Got what I wanted but I was surprised to see my "DRAM frequency" was listed as 266MHz. My machine supposedly has DDR2 SDRAM running at 533MHz - does the 266MHz translate to 533MHz because of the "2" in DDR2 ? or was I cheated by my computer vendor ?

Possibly. Try this tool to get even more info: http://www.wintotal.de/server/system/everesthome220.zip

By the way what computer Make and model are we talking here?
But just check the above first
You can attach

the report if you like (note I say attach, not paste)

Dell DImension XPS Pentium 4 3.4GHz

I ran Everest (nice program) and it shows actual clock speed as 266MHz but "effective" speed as 566MHz. Guess I got what I paid for :approve: ?

All your Dell info (ie Bus speed from reading your Manual) can be found here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic100658.html

Have you been here without even joining until now

I've stopped by before, looking for answers to other problems. But finally joined as I've seen some intelligent help being given - not always easy to find

Oh I forgot (or missed) reading the attached report

It states:

DDR2-533
