To all PC Experts: I have upgraded the RAM of my LG laptop (model LW70 Express whose specs are as follows: Processor = Intel Pentium M 760, Code name Dothan, brand ID=22, Speed=2.00 Ghz; Motherboard = LG Electronics model Hunter, Chipset=Intel i915PM/GM, Rev 03, Southbridge=Intel 82801FBM (ICH6-M); RAM = 2 x 512 MB, DDR2, PC2-4300, 266 MHZ) with the following specs: 2 x 1 GB, DDR2, PC2-5300, 667 MHZ, (as per advice of Crucial Scan). HOWEVER, after upgrading the RAM and checking it with CPU-Z, I found out that the speed of the NEW RAM is only 333 MHZ. Is this correct? If not, what should I do to correct or get the right speed of the new RAM (667 MHZ)? Is there in the BIOS required to be tweaked to get the correct speed? Please enlighten me about this and give me technical advice. Thank you very much.The RAM will only run at the speed at which the motherboard is designed for. For example, if the RAM slots on the motherboard are designed to run at 333MHz and you put in the sticks that are capable of 667MHz, it will only run at 333MHz since that's what the slots are only capable of handling. Is that what you were asking or am I misunderstanding your post? Thanks!Seems to me like a misunderstanding of CPU-Z's readings.
CPU-Z reads the actual clock speed of the RAM which is in fact 333MHz - DDR2 transfers data twice per cycle, making the effective clock 667MHz.  The second figure is always what is sued in advertising as it's bigger "sued" ? ?

Just bustin yer chops Calum.... Me THINKS  "what is sued"= what is used.truenorthAh, my bad ... to the sin bin I go.Nah! Save that trip for something really serious.truenorthTo all PC experts who gave their technical comments on my RAM question, thank you very much. Your technical explanation is very much appreciated. Regards.You're welcome, glad to help.
