What's the deal here? I have 4 DDR 533MHz sticks, but cpu-z says they are running only at 266MHz
Anybody know what could be wrong here?

mobo supports that speed?
your mobo probably cant handle it

From MSI site
Main Memory
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDRII SDRAM
• Supports up to 4GB memory size.
• Supports dual channel DDRII memory architecture.
• Supports DDRII 667/533/400 memory interface.

OMFG N00B TECH POSTERS ALERT!
533 divided by 2 = 266. DDR2 ram = Double Data Rate. Which means your ram runs twice as fast when put into dual channel mode.

So is that correct or not?cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

Yes, I have DDR2 to, same
It's correct. don't worry, nothing is wrong.tupla_s wrote:

If im not mistaken, it has nothing to do with dual channer or not, its just 533 divided by 2 equals 266mhz.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

and because its DDR = Doule Data Rate it runs on 533 mhz, and not because its in dual channel.

Cosy is the right one here.
My Corsair DDR2 XMS2 800MHz ram is displayed as 400MHz by CPU-Z
Just double whatever CPU Z displays.

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
I have that same problem, in CPU-Z and bios startup, cant see any performance issues though...

lmao whos the noob tech poster m8 ...... dual channel isnt it runnign twice as fast its reading from both sticks at the same time like SATA striped drivescyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

When they come out with anything that actually runs at 500+mhz let me know ok?Des.Kmal wrote:

Most thing in your PC are below 266Mhz, You CPU probably runs at 200mhz with a 10+ multiplier.

Yeah, what they said
Runs twice the frequency.]GoD[JiN wrote:

mobo cant handle it u noob, lol jk
It's funny how you'd post something as arrogant as that, but yet you don't know what you're talking about.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

Dual channel has absolutely nothing to do with DDR. Dual channel is basically double the bandwidth.
DDR works best in dual channel. Hence the name DOUBLE DATA rate.CrazeD wrote:

Here's how I explain Dual channel:
Say you have a 4 lane highway, and you have 8 trucks full of bricks. The trucks can only travel at 30MPH. Obviously the 4 trucks in front can get to the destination before the 4 trucks behind it.
Now, Dual channel would put 8 lanes in that road, so all the trucks can arrive at the destination at the exact same time.
You can't even buy "Dual channel RAM", the Dual channel is done by the motherboard. All you do for the RAM is get a matched set, with identical timings and frequencies.
