I believe this depends on your CPU and front side buss speed.
If you have a 667Mhz buss speed your memory will run at 667MHz. With an 800MHz buss speed it should run at 800MHz if the chips are listed for your specific model number.
The motherboard that you has can only run 667MHz ram. It wont be able to go higher.
I concur.
Only the very newest laptops being released now, have motherboards which support 800MHz RAM, so buying 800MHz RAM for your 1735 was a waste of time, unfortunately.
You really ought to have checked before you ordered it, by (i.e.) using Crucial's 'Memory Advisor Tool' :emotion-55:
That would've told you, your Studio 1735 was 'limited' to 667MHz speed RAM - i.e. PC2-6400 at best.

Hummm?
That's very strange.
:emotion-55: I just looked at the Crucial site for the Studio 1735 and it shows in two areas of the page that,
A: DDR2 memory with support for DDR2 PC2-6400,DDR2 PC2-5300 speeds.
Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400,DDR2 PC2-5300 with a maximum of 2GB per slot.
And wildhog3, the Studio 1735 'is' one of the very newest laptops. :emotion-15:
Thank you for all your responses. Crucial's website does say it can support PC-6400 DDR2, so maybe it is there mistake. I only know the memory works, but it only shows up in the BIOS as 667 Mhz. Also it seems that with Speedstep inabled and no way to disable it (without going to the minimum clock speed 1.2 Ghz) it slows the memory performance down even more.
I stopped buying DELL PC's because of the Phoenix BIOS limitations and started building my own, but in this case I unfortunately did not want to attemp building a Laptop. Again Thank you all for your responses.

Hello,

You can see your buss speed by running CPUz.
