DDR2 800 (or is it 400) RAM Help?

[AphexDreamer]

I have 2GB of OCZ Gold Performance DDR2 800 RAM that I thought were supposed to clock upto 800Mhz right, well CPUz and other analyzing software like it say my Ram is only operating at 400Mhz:confused:.

My question is, does the 800 mean its supposed to clock only to 400Mhz or does CPUz show my clock in DDR2, Im just confused:confused:

DDR= DOUBLE(or dual) Data Rate

multiply by 2 as other people have said

Wait so your saying that when Cpuz Shows my RAM being at 400 its really at 800? Just one final clarification.

Just to be safe, you may want to check your BIOS settings to make sure a DDR2-800 divider is set, and not DDR2-400 ;)
