    I was just looking over PC Wizard 2007 and noticed some information on RAM. I could be totally wrong here, but I would be an idiot for not asking. The laptop is supposed to come with 667 Mhz Ram (From XoticPc site: 1024MB DDRII 667MHz Dual Channel Memory (expandable to 4096MB with Vista 64-Bit)).

    The information I see in PCWizard is below, and I cant seem to find the 667mhz anywhere. I see the type as DDR2-SDRAM PC2-5300 (333 MHz). Am I interpreting this incorrectly?

    you have to multiply by 2 (it's DDR)
    and 333(,33) * 2 = 666,66 = 667

    DDR stands for double data rate, so 667MHz RAM really runs at 333MHz.

    Edit: Late post.
