    Hi dudes, I'm once again. Well, I was looking up the specs of my m14x on dell.com and I noticed that, acording with the page, my m14x has 4GB memory at 1600 mhz instead of the 4GB of 1333 that the store, where I bought the lappy, said to me that has the m14x. So, I wanna know which is the real speed of my RAM, someone can give me an advice please? I used geekbench, but is just try version and I can't select benchmarks of 64-bit architecture cuz is a trail... also when I start GB shows me that the speed of my RAM is 798mhz :confused: http://oi54.tinypic.com/qs7gnp.jpg . I don't know if show me that cuz is a trail or I've to OC the ram or something? thanks a lot guys, my best regards.

    your RAM is at 1600Mhz
    You have to multiply the clock by 2

    You can file report for the moderator to either merge or delete those topics, but dont worry I have done that for you.

    You can file it by clicking the Triangle with an Exclamation Mark in the middle, next to the icon for rep+.

    yeah! I paid for 1333mhz and I got 1600mhz hahaha it's cool... Other question, I'm having some heat issue, sometime the tmeps of the CPU reach 99° on one core, so in spite of the heat issue of the cpu, can I still OC the ram? thanks a lot dude.

    Thanks for deleting the other threads and for the info bro , I'll write it down!
