memory speed

887 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  TheMatt
My memory is Corsair XMS 2x1gb pc3200. I thought it was supposed to run at 400mhz but according to everest it is running at 200mhz. The actual line from everest is:

Field Value
@ 200 MHz 3.0-3-3-8 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS)

Is this a problem? And how can I correct it?

My system: ASUS A8NSLI premium mobo, amd 4600+dual core Manchester, Aopen 7800GT, Antec true power 450W.

200MHz is the correct speed, the system doubles it to give DDR400 (PC3200). In Everest goto Computer>>Overclock to see what speed it's running at (Memory Bus).
DDR stands for Double Data Rate, which means that it sends and receives data in one clock cycle, giving you the performance of RAM with a clock speed of 400 MHz, when it is only running at 200 MHz.
