according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM
the 1333 is the I/O bus speed, in MT/s (whatever that is), and the frequency is, in fact, 667Mhz - but the manufacturer sells it as 1333MHz RAM - are they trying to dupe us (or don't they know themselves what the 1333 stands for)?
So, I bought a new PC, and the RAM with it was (DDR3,1333MHZ,2 DIMM).
Now, running Garbiel Topala's System Information for Windows program, I see that the RAMs are from Samsung (M471B5273CH0-CH9) Serial D4891B84.
DDR3 (PC3-10700) with a Speed of 667 MHz (DDR3 1333).
What is their speed now? 667MHz? Like RAM from 5 years ago?
It says it can run anything from 5-5-5-14-19 at 381MHz to 9-9-9-25-34 at 685.7MHz.
But don't these chips ever run at 1333MHz?
Thanks for the help.
