Recently, I checked my computer with a software and found that the speed of my ram is 233 which does not match with that given by Dell.

I'm going to check it again, but this time with another software.

I couldn't find it though, do you have any suggestion?

Check it out in your BIOS.

What is the software you used previously?

 

 

This is a rather good one.

Are you sure you aren't confusing the speed with the size of your RAM? Dell would probably advertise the size (512MB, 1GB, 2GB...) of the RAM instead of the speed (233MHz).

Oh, now I checked with another software.

It told me that the speed is 533, my previous software must have a great deal of faults.

Thanks everyone

533 is pretty slow... I'm on the really cruddy comp here and mine has 860MHz lol

RAM speed, not CPU speed.

oh pffft.

 

what is ram speed measured in? hz?

533 is pretty slow... I'm on the really cruddy comp here and mine has 860MHz lol

 

And there's me, with my poor pc133 RAM...

no apparently I had it wrong lol. 860MHz was my processor speed not RAM speed. I'm on the better one right now though 1.8 GHz

 

Probably nothing to some people... a friend of mine was going to buy from alienware, he could get a PC several times better then the same price of a Dell

 

Anyways, can someone explain to me how you find out RAM speed anyway?

There's a sticker on my RAM telling me the speed, alternatively you can use the software suggested in this thread.

Or you can use your BIOs, as long as it is one of the newer ones, like mine.
