Memory for Inspiron 6000

just curious but how did you get that ram as Dell normally supplies 400Mhz ram with the 6000 series?
the 533Mhz ram usually is reserved for the 9300 and xps models!

Hi Bac,

I ordered this 6000 in Singapore. The configuration says its DDR2 533Mhz.

I have not open up the ram module to have a look.

could you run CPU-Z to double check and post back?

ideally you want to use 2 sticks of ram of the same capacity, timings & speed to have the benefit of dual channel support.

Hi Bac,

Sorry for the late reply
Here is the info of my memory:
Memory Type DDR2
Memory Size 512 MBytes
Memory Frequency 266.0 MHz (1:2)
CAS# 4.0
RAS# to CAS# 4
RAS# Precharge 4
Cycle Time (tRAS) 12

General
Memory type DDR2-SDRAM
Manufacturer (ID) Hyundai Electronics (AD00000000000000)
Size 512 MBytes
Max bandwidth PC4300 (266 MHz)

Is that really 266Mhz or 533Mhz?

Cheers

Hi Bacillus,

Thanks for that cool program.

I have checked the part no. of the RAM on hynix.com, and can confirm its a DDR2 533Mhz chip.

Strange thing that the cpuz progam reported that my RAM is PC-4300, but when I did a physical check on the RAM chip, it has PC-4200 printed on it.

Thanks

I'm glad to hear you like the programme.
