Memory Speed

[Carl]

Hi All
I use PC 3200 DDR memory in my XP machine, Which is DDR 400.
How come when i run the AIDA 32 program it says the memory speed ie 200 mhz.
Shouldn't that be 400 mhz or is it just reading one side of it.
Our other pC has PC2100 and that says 133mhz instead of 266.
Can someone explain all this to me, (and i thought i knew everything,ha ha)
Thanks guys

AIDA32 has not been updated recently, in fact it is no
longer being supported and updated. Try EVEREST from

Because DDR stands for Dual Data Rate which means the 200MHz is doubled (via
DDR) and has the result of appearing as 400Mhz.

Also, AIDA is obsolete - go to www.lavalys.com for the replacement called
Everest.
