DDR2 and it's kind get feed a base clock rate. The data rate is double that so many new to this area confuse data rates versus clock rates.
Notice your 1600 MHz didn't finish the sentence?
Hi! Could somebody tell me if I have to multiply x2 the RAM speed given in Speccy? I have an AMD Lenovo Y700 Gaming Laptop with 8GB DDR3 Dual channel RAM at 1600 MHz . Speccy reports it at 798 MHz, though. Is that normal?
Thanks!
PS: task manager reports the speed as 800mhz. Am I still fine?
