What is my computer clock speed?

Question

I see other questions similar to this in this forum. The consensus is to right click My Compter and pick properties. This does not help me however. It states 2.40 GHz. I need to know what type of RAM to get my computer. I have narrowed it down to either 400 MHz or 533 MHz. It is a Dell Dimension 4550. Even the Dell website can not nail it down for me. I think I need DDR 266 PC 2700 RAM, but another option is DDR 333 PC 2700. Please help.

Answer 1

Apparently it can come with either DDR 266 or DDR 333 RAM, which by the way, run at 266MHZ and 333MHZ respectively. The 400MHZ and 533MHZ you see when looking at products are probably due to the fact that it has an FSB of 533MHZ.

The easiest way to tell would be to open up your computer, and take the RAM you currently have in there out. On it there should be a sticker telling you what type it is.

what in the world are you talking about?
As far as i know you dont need to care about clock speed for your RAMs... Clock speed is the speed at which your processor runs, It executes instructions at that speed... Actually, it dose not execute 1 instruction per clock speed. Each type of instruction requires certain number of clock cycles to run an instruction... and the higher the clock the faster the instructions will be executed. This is the explanation in brief.
Coming to your RAM. Its just a memory its not controlled by any clocks... when it has to be read or written, the processor has to sit and wait for the RAM to say yes i'm ready for data reading/writing only then will the peocessor transfer data. So no clock is needed for a RAM.
All you gotta see is the Capacity of your RAM and the compatablity of your RAM into the provided RAM slot on your Computer which cannot be found out using the system, refer to the motherBoard User manual which will tell you all the specifications about it. if you dont have a user manual then find out your motherboard Chipset/model number and search it on the net to find your suitable RAM...
Thats it!

The 2.4 gigs that is displayed in the "General" tab in the My Computer properties box is the "Clock" speed of your CPU. To determine the speed and type of your ram, download and run one of the following programs.

CPU-Z
This is a very small diagnostic program that will run right from the download file. After you have it downloaded just click on the exe file.

Belarc Advisor
This program will give you a complete audit of you system. It will list all hardware and software that you have installed. It does need to be installed. After installation just click on the programs icon, give it a minute to analize your system.

the interest is sufficiently previous that they did not use a huge adequate memory value to compute the CPU velocity. It shows damaging by using 1st bit in the string being a a million (this is merely reserved for damaging operations, till you have records this is merely too super for the sign in, then this bit gets populated by accident). not extremely a lot you're able to do.
