I have a Dell inspiron PC that came with 4GB DDR3 1600 ram. Recently, I noticed that the computer was getting EXTREMELY slow, so I decided to look at CPU-Z. Straight away, I noticed that the ram NB frequency is 2294. I don't know, is this bad, normal, or what? I must add that I don't know much about RAM and I don't know what NB frequency is at all.
 
Solution
NB (North Bridge), a chip that handles most I/O functions with other things also memory to CPU. That doesn't mean that your RAM is running that speed. In CPU-Z look at memory tab and will tell you real memory frequency divided by 2. SPD tab shows what that memory is capable of.
