I just install A-Data RAM 2X1GB ( 667Mhz) .
When I download and run PC Wizard 2007 , it told me that my memory speed is only 333Mhz . { DDR@-SDRAM PC2-5300(333Mhz) }
I went into my desktop BIOS to check and it said current memory speed 667Mhz.
Can anyone help me explain why PC Wizard 2007 is not registering that my RAM is running at 667Mhz as it suppose to be and only 333Mhz.
I also downloaded another software SIW and it said same ,ie, 333Mhz.

Can someone help explain the difference ?.
tks,
andy

your motherboard is likely just telling you what the memory is capable of, while pc wizard is telling you what it is actually running at.
What is your mobo company and model, it may not support anything above 333MHz, or it's possible that you have not set the bus speed correctly.

DDR SDRAM means double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory.
The memory is running at 333MHz (the bus speed) but it transfer data both on the rising and falling edge of the clock.
Check this link: DDR2 SDRAM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can anyone tell me how to set the bus speed to 667Mhz. on my desktop?
My motherboard is MSI K9N SLI Platinium and the user guide said that the MBO can support up to 800Mhz. and max of 8Gb RAM. (4 slots ).
Presently I have 2X1Gb A-Data DDR2 RAM
My processor is AMD Athlon X2 4200+
Pls help
tks.

Hi William,
My motherboard is MSI 9N SLI Platinium and its guide said it can support up to 556/667/800 Mhz. My Processor is AMD Athlon X2 4200+
and I have 2X1Gb A-Data DDR2 (667Mhz) RAM
Can u tell me where and how to set the bus speed on my desktop so that my bus speed = RAM speed = 667Mhz.
tks

I have ran memtest86 on the memory. do i need to overclock or change a bios setting or is there a some sort of memory fix for this.
