Hey ppl, I have a few questions regarding if my pc is running at OPTIMAL officiency
 
First: I downloaded "CPU Z", that has a categorie for checking your RAM status. I have got 2x 1gb DDR2 800Mhz, but it says that they are running at about 370Mhz... Is it just the program or what??
 
Second: My GPU is the Inno3d 8800GT Overclock edition, on the websites I've checked out, they say it's Memory clock is 1900Mhz, but on "GPU Z" it says that it is running at 950Mhz... And it gets Damn HoT, like 65'c (Should I be worried??)
 
I don't know if I'm worried for nothing, but I want to get what I paid for from my pc!!
 
So any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
My computer specs:
-AMD 6000 Dualcore
-Asus M2N SLI Deluxe
-Inno3d 8800GT OC
-2x 1GB DDR2 800Mhz

Your ram runs at half the rated speed so if it says 370mhz that really means 740mhz. That is Weird though cause it should be running at 400mhz. The same thing applies to your GPU memory clock, 950mhz is really 1950mhz. Also the 8800gt does tend to run hot, because it doesn't have a duel slot cooler like the 8800gts version.

65 is not hot for a Vid card, no worries.
-you can up the speed of the memory in bios to 400 safely... (or more)

The ram should run at that speed it's fine, the 6400 runs at 800 but the 6000 runs at 750 mhz. And if you double the memory value for the gpu that will give you the real value. mine is at 920 so the actual speed is 1840 for me.

ya. 70 c is room temperature, so if your card is running at 65 c your running very coolly. 65c is roughly 18f

It's fine at 65'c, you're only gonna be in trouble if it climbs into the high 70's and then clocks itself down to avoid damage.
