    I have uncertainty pertaining the RAM in my 5793. CPU-Z tells that the memory frequency is only 332.5 MHZ. I thought it was supposed to be 667 MHZ. Is this normal?

    Thanks in advance

    I believe it is only reporting the individual memory modules. When you have two of the same combined it doubles the data rate, hence having 667 MHz.

    Sticks of DDR2-667 are clocked at 333MHZ but due to the Double Data Rate(DDR[2]) it's effective rate is 667MHz.

    DDR= double data rate RAM.
    So yes, it is reporting it correctly.
