Speccy:



Checked my corsair memory, Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB DDR3 RAM, which said the memory speed should be 1333MHz PC3-10666. Why the hell is mine only @669MHz?

Also, don't understand why one of my monitors is detected as Acer @ 60Hz while the other is not and is @59Hz when they're identical monitors...would one being connected via DVI and the other via VGA be the cause of that?

Your RAM is running dual channel.
So its actually 669*2 = 1338MHz

You can just change your hertz to 60 in either nvidia controlpanel or under display adapter properties.

Damn that's an 8 year old setup. Reminds me a lot of the one I bought 8 years ago.

They both say 60Hz currently under NVIDIA though...

But yeah it's a pretty old rig, bought everything for <$400 in 2011

MSI GF615M-P31 GeForce 7025 Socket AM3 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X3 700e 2.4Ghz 65W OEM CPU
Corsair 4GB DDR3 PC10666 1333MHz 4096MB (x2)
Diablo Dual Fan 24 Pin SATA Ready 400W Pwr Supply
Diablotek CPA-9611B ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 92mm HP CPU Cooler
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3 PCIe

Strange. Well it wouldn't have any noticeable effect tho.

Actually that's not quite how it works.

Its DDR (Double Data Rate), Which lets it send twice the data of its clock rate.


Dual channel on the motherboard is something different.





It's pretty normal for 60hz monitors to show up as 59hz on some programs/etc.

There's nothing wrong with it, & you won't notice a difference.

So, in layman terms, there's nothing wrong with it, right?

And for the resolution, the only "problem" I have is that some streams will lag on one monitor but be fine when I move it to the other....is that normal?

Check the other monitor in the Nvidia control panel, it will let you change the refresh rate to 60
