What is the advertised speed? What specs?

Check on CPU-Z if it also reads as 1200mhz.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

DDR = Double Data Rate

 

1200mhz x 2 = 2400mhz

 

Is 2400mhz what your RAM should be running at?
