T60 memory frequency
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2007 6:29 pm
Hey everyone,
I bought a T60 last December and almost immediately upgraded the RAM to 1.5 gigs. I bought a 1 gb stick from pny. Just yesterday I bought another 1 gb stick from pny, same model number and everything. The machine seems to work fine. When I downloaded cpu-z, it says that it is indeed running in dual channel mode; however, it says that the memory frequency is 332.5 mhz. I am confused, since I thought that this machine ran the memory at 667 mhz. The memory sticks are rated for PC2-5300/667 mhz, so I really don't know if CPU-Z is wrong, the machine is running the memory at a lower speed, or I screwed up somewhere. Any comments of suggestions are welcome.
By the way, the memory is at an excellent price at compusa. You can find it here.
