    Hi guys,

    I have 2 x 2 gb 667 Mhz (PC2-5300) RAM installed on my m15x, However when i ran CPUZ it shows it as 333Mhz.
    Is this normal or is there somthing wrong with the RAM :confused: ?.

    Peace~

    It's because it uses DDR (double data rate) which in effect doubles the MHz of the chip.

    Its perfectly normal my 1333 is showing at 667
