does this mean everything is ok? do i need to change anything in the bios or leave everything on its defaults?.. the task manager show that there's supposed to be 4 ram slots but physically it is only 2.. why is that? epeccy and cpuz shows the same things

800 * 2 = 1600

Your programs show the correct speed.

As enderman said Programs show the correct speed. and dual channel is usually slots 1&3, and 2&4 which is why the screen says dimm1 and dimm3

wrong ram speed in taskmanager and 3rdparty utilities

athlon 750k

i have 1x4Gb 1600mhz Micron memory
I set it on bios in 1600 to make sure its ok.
the rest of the setting are on its defaults
till i found out that the actual speed on taskmanager / speccy / cpuz
shows that it runs on 800mhz.
im no expert when it comes to this kind of thing.
just wanted to know if this a bug or something is wrong in the bios / os setup.
is my system suffering from low ram speed?
