Recently got a new Averatec 7100-series laptope, and upgraded it by
adding some memory. Averatec specifies PC2700 (333 MHz) DDR memory,
which is what I got.
First thing after a memory install is, of course, to run memtest86+ on
it... and memtest86+ is reporting 100 MHz (DDR200) memory with
timings of 2.5-2-2-5. Went to the BIOS to adjust it, and found no
memory settings in the BIOS.
So... what's going on? First, is DDR memory smart enough to report
its speed? Does memtest86+ report memory speeds accurately? Should
there be something in the control panel or a downloadable utility (I
don't normally run Windows) to adjust memory speeds? What should I be
asking that I don't know enough to ask?
Thanks,
