Hi,

I've recently got my hands on an old Packard Bell Easynote G1340 and installed a 1GB SODIMM PC2700 (333MHz) RAM.

It works fine, although it only runs at 166MHz.

Now using CPUZ/BIOS I can see my CPU Bus speed is running at 100MHz and not 200MHz (max FSB of 400Mhz), could this be why my RAM's running half speed?

Anyone know how I can change the bus speed (it's not possible from the BIOS)?

Here's the specification of the laptop:

Much appreciated,

Os

your ram appears to be running at the right speed.
PC2100 or DDR266: operates at a maximum of 133 MHz.
PC2700 or DDR333: operates at a maximum of 166 MHz.
PC3200 or DDR400: operates at a maximum of 200 MHz.
