    I was prepping my laptop before I shipped it off to HP, and I decided to download CPU-Z to copy down some information before I sent it off for HP to do who knows what to it.

    Well, I think I stumbled upon something...look at this pic.

    Is it just me, or is it telling me that my laptop's RAM is only 333 MHz? I'm pretty sure I bought it with the impression that it was supposed to be 667 MHz.

    Someone get back to me on this...sooooo confused...

    DDR 333x2 = 666(or 667 rounded up).

    DDR = Double Data Rate IIRC.
