Hey everyone.

I just spotted that in CPU-Z it says my ram are running 1066MHz, and that got me wondering if that's the speed of one stick or both since im running duals (2x 4 GB)

Im really not good at computers with this, so i hope some of you smart ones can help me out here :)

TY!

All memory run at the same frequency, regardless if running in single channel mode or in dual channel mode.

The "DRAM Frequency" indicated in CPU-Z is actually the frequency of the clock signal going to the memory. But since the memory is double data rate (DDR), the memory runs at twice the frequency of the clock signal. So in this case here, all of the memory modules are running at 2 x 1066.7 MHz = 2133.4 MHz ~ 2133 MHz.
