I'm currently using a E2140 that should be running at 2.66 GHz however according to linux (and CPU-Z) it is only running at 1.6 GHz.

[/code]I also want to upgrade from 2 GB ram to 4 GB (DDR2 800) however am unsure what is compatible (buffered, unbuffered? what's the difference?)
Can anyone tell me how ? I can get my clock speed back to 2.66 and what ram I should get? (Max £75 and from ebuyer ideally).
No, it shouldn't be running at 2.66. It's a 1.6GHz processor.
What do you use the computer for? What is the desired end result of your upgrade?
In CPU-Z you can find RAM information. Post it all on here.
[QUOTE=loony383;19787897]Actually it should be, it comes stock overclocked to 2.66 GHz. I firgured out why it was defaulting back to 1.6 GHz.[/QUOTE]
its a 1.6ghz processor, and no it wont come ''stock overclocked'' at 1 extra Ghz
edit: also, you can delete 3/4 of that long ass cpuz thing as its just a load of random numbers that contribute to nothing

Well, it did. I have never overclocked before, this was already over clocked. I still have the box for the motherboard wich it came bundled with and that states it's running at 2.66.

No need for this thread any more, worked it all out.

No it's stock is 2.6 and speed step just saves power.

I like how the box makes Intel integrated seem like the best thing since sliced bread.
