Hi everyone,
Ok so I've made my first upgrade ever. I swapped out my 512Mb x2 for 1Gb x2 RAM. Now I notice somewhat of a difference but when I check my cpu-z thing-a-ma-jig, the clocks are at 6. I'm pretty sure they were at 4 before(lower is better right?). Oh, and the Mhz seem to be at 400 rather than 533 like the ram sticks say they are. Am I suppose to tweak anything in the BIOS for new RAM? Let me post exactly what cpu-z says on my memory, and I'll appreciate anything you guys come up with.
