Ram clock speed question.

Please don't flame me, im not a hardcore pc gamer as og yet. ;)When I bought the mainboard I have now, a Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe, nForce 570 SLI,, I also bought 2 gigs of DDR2 Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 2048MB CL5 ram. From what the info on that site said it was going to run a 800mhz. BUt when I us CPU-Z I get that the ram runs at 380mhz and on the SPD page in the same program it says that it runs at 270 and 400mhz.Im all confused :( Please help.Ram clock speed question.
The real clock of the ddr2 is divided by 2. 800mhz is just 400mhz, 667 is just 333mhz, and 533 is 266mhz. DOn't be confused.. :D For additional info, search in the internet!Ram clock speed question.
that is... retarded...
[QUOTE=''trasherhead'']that is... retarded...[/QUOTE]

No, its not retarded, its DDR (Double Data Rate) RAM. So you take the speed that its runs at (400MHz) and double it, to get the effective speed (800Mhz).
[QUOTE=''trasherhead'']that is... retarded...[/QUOTE] lol, this is how the life goes :D
Even in GPU in memory rate got doubled as well to show you the effective speed of it
[QUOTE=''trasherhead'']that is... retarded...[/QUOTE]Just deal with it.
You rams clockspeed is 380mhz, but because its DDR (Double Data Rate) the effective clock will be 760mhz. Most software like CPU-Z don't show you the effective clockspeed, but all you need to do is X it by 2. EVEREST will show you the effective clock.
