i recently purchased a ddr2 667mhz transcend ram,
but when i checked its frequency in cpu-z its reporting 334mhz
has my dealer cheated me?
uve even changed the bios settings to 667mhz but to no avail

and i have an amd athlon64 x2 3800+ processor,
sisoft sandra pro max 3 doesnt work,
should i download the 64 bit version?

and can i install vista ultimate 32 bit version?

There shouldn't be any problem. Since it is DDR, it operates @ double the frequency.

DDR stands for Double Data Rate. 333.5x2 = 667MHz
Your RAM is running at the proper speed CPUz will always detect the actual.Not to worry anything.
