E1705 Problem !!!!

My laptop has T2400 @ 1.83Ghz and 2Gig Ram at 667Mhz but I used Cpu-z-135 to manager my Laptop and it show up : CPU runing only at 997.5 Ghz and Both 2x1Gig Ram running maximum at 333Mhz ( everything is original, I have not make any change on my Laptop with both hardware or software ) ??? Someone please tell me what is going on with my Laptop !!!

 

Not too sure about your Ram, but to save power the Core Duo processors usually dont run at full power unless they are needed to. You can change this setting so that it's always running at full, but I forget how.

 

Its called speedstep and it clocks your procesor up and down to save power. Go to Power schemes and change it to "always on" and your processor wont clock down.

 

The RAM is DDR - (for those technically inclined, 166MHz is the internal speed, 333MHz is the external speed, then double it to get DDR, so 667MHz).

Basically, take the memory clock you see there and double it. So, 333MHz * 2 = 667MHz.

 

your ram is running at 333 mhz per stick.

you have 2 sticks of dual data rate ram, for a total bandwidth of 666 (667) mhz, which is the bandwidth advertised.

Its like raid 0 for hard drives or dual core for cpu or more recently than that even, dual core for gpu's

Sometimes it becomes more cost effective to double the power by using two units in parallel instead of trying to push more efficient and powerful technology up a few percent at a time, and ddr ram is a perfect example.

Parallelism is definately the direction computers are going, and your ddr ram is a perfect example of marketers taking advantage of that and advertising to be as confusing as possible.
