[SOLVED] Problem With Asus Laptop RAM MHz
Go to solution
Solved by Oshino Shinobu,
Your RAM is 1600MHz effective clock. The actual clock is 800MHz, which is what a lot of system profilers will show. Once you take into account DDR (Double Data Rate), it becomes an effective clock of double the actual clock, in this case 1600MHz.
EDIT: Basically, the RAM is running at 800MHz. However, because it is DDR memory, it performs two operations per cycle. Another way of interpreting that is by doubling the clock rate as if it were performing a single operation per cycle. In that sense, 800MHz DDR is the same as 1600MHz performing a single operation per cycle. Higher numbers sound better, so manufacturers advertise the effective clock.
