I have ASUS P5GC-MX, or its that what it says when I turn on my computer. Even CPU-Z says P5GC-MX, but on the inside next to processor it says P5GC-MX/1333. Now which one is it??? The difference between two is in the buss speed.
I'm asking cos i'm gonna upgrade memory and the later one would allow me to use faster memory. How do I check specifically for bus speed? Any help would be apretiated.
Thank you

Cpu-z has it's limits on identifying the board and ram; if the board has white id lettering with the model number, then go by that. For the ram, look for a qvl listing on asus webpage; if your board is too old and no listing is available, pull one stick and google the serial number on the ram for a match or use crucial's configurator software.
