gmak1298 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 My computer, purchased almost a year ago, specifies memory as "16GB DDR4-3000". Speccy reports memory as "16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1498MHz (15-16-16-35)" Admitedly, I'm a memory novice. But I thought the DDR4-3000 was memory type=DDR4, & memory speed=3000MHz. That doesn't seem compatible with the Speccy specification of "Unknown" & "1498MHz". Concern? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 26, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi gmak and welcome, See if a recent discussion here; https://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=46980&hl=%2Bdual+%2Bchannel sheds any light on your question. As to the "unknown", is that from the Manufacturer field? Speccy interrogates the hardware's firmware fields via WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to get most of the info it displays. It could simply be that the manufacturer hasn't filled in all the appropriate fields.

gmak1298 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks. I've briefly reviewed those postings(direct & nested). And I'll read them very carefully later this evening. The "unknown" value was provided in the Speccy specification quoted. Thanks again, for the reference(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmak1298 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I see that the reported DDR4 1498MHz memory speed should be doubled. I also see that the DDR4 3000 MHz is possibly misstated by the manufacturer. Thanks again, for your reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2016 you can probably factor in the usual GB versus GiB differences or just 'rounding' errors.
