dean25 Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 it's x2 so 200mhz = 400 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_lag Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 it's x2 so 200mhz = 400 604209[/snapback] yes, the manual is saying the total speed in mhz, and the bios is saying the speed of one of the sticks in mhz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadger Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 yes, the manual is saying the total speed in mhz, and the bios is saying the speed of one of the sticks in mhz 604248[/snapback] Hense the term DDR. Double Data Rate. Thats where the x2 comes from...so in other words, theres nothing wrong with what it says. 200mhz = 400 ddr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 Lol, this has to be the funiest post Ive seen in awhile. No Offense. Yes, each stick operates at 200MHz, but they do double that in a single beat of the system timer. Hence Double Data Rate, just like everyone else has said.
