A6j Memory Question

Hi guys, this is my first time here, although I have been lurking a while.

What brought me to post here was a thought I had about my RAM that came to me when I ran CPU-Z on my Laptop (A6j).

From the images below, you can see that CPU-Z shows my RAM as running at 266 MHz clock speeds. This is what interests me. The Bus speed on the CPU is rated as 667MHz, so why on earth is my RAM running at these slow speeds?
At the very least I would expect it to be doing 533 MHz.




Now I don't know if this has anything to do with my RAM, but I always experience major slowdown everytime I log into Windows. This occurs for about 2 minutes, where I can hear the HD working and everything is slow to load up. After this it is fine though.

My question is, have I been ripped off? Is the RAM I have meant to be there? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So you have a normally functioning PC2-4200 DDR2 RAM.

As to the slowdown, it's caused by starting programs (mainly) things like drivers/USB devices intializing etc.

See this section of my guide: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=81828#sec:postinst:cleanup
for how to optimize the startup a little bit. Especially the "starting programs" paragraph.
Also check the "maintenance" section at the end of the guide.

 

266 ram,

ddr 2 is 533

you have pc2 4200 ram

Even though in theory you could gain performance by putting in pc 5300, you wont get even one tick faster.

Even though you can get 1 billionth of a tick faster by putting in another dim to go into dual channel, it wont matter.

Youre fine
