Hey everyone,
I've tried to google an answer but it led me nowhere. I've read here and there that the AMD memory controller runs at the same speed as a CPU core. So, that does not make sense to me at all. Some AMD's run at 2.8 GHZ, some at 3.4 GHZ, etc...
My question is: what is the correlation between the frequency of the memory controller and the frequency of the DRAM. Why is DDR3 @ 1333 sufficient for my Phenom II X3 720? Where can I see what frequency the controller is running at?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
