Hey all,

Was just checking Speccy on my computer when i noticed that my DRAM frequency was shown as 532.2

Is that normal or should it be at a higher frequency ? More imp. is it affecting the performance of the computer?

Everything is working fine :) DDR means Double Data Rate in your case 532Mhz x 2 transfers per clock = 1066Mhz effective > that's max ram frequency supported by your cpu .

just to add to the above info even if Op has higher frequency ram ie 1333 Mhz or higher the cpu is limiting it's speed as it supports only upto 1066 Mhz speed.
