Hi, I've recently got my hands on an old Packard Bell Easynote G1340 and installed a 1GB SODIMM PC2700 (333MHz) RAM. It works fine, although it only runs at 166MHz. Now using CPUZ/BIOS I can see my CPU Bus speed is running at 100MHz and not 200MHz (max FSB of 400Mhz), could this be why my RAM's running half speed? Anyone know how I can change the bus speed (it's not possible from the BIOS)? Here's the specification of the laptop: http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?pn=PB11R00001&g=1400 Much appreciated, Os
your ram appears to be running at the right speed. PC2100 or DDR266: operates at a maximum of 133 MHz. PC2700 or DDR333: operates at a maximum of 166 MHz. PC3200 or DDR400: operates at a maximum of 200 MHz. http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?i=instr_memory_upgrade&ppn=PB11R00001#speed edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP. yours is 8 lines of text. 1.
