    Hello
    I think this is the right place to record it and if not then I'm sorry:
    I bought a new computer GX620
    With 4 Gb memory
    It comes with 2 Gb 800MHZ and I added 2 Gb more
    Now the program that i download GPU-Z it shows me that...(Photo Attached)

    it should be like that?

    is there any other programs for checking it?

    Thank you very much for helping :)

    Is your second 2gb stick (the one you added) also a PC2-6400 (800mhz)?
    If you have one 800mhz stick and one 400mhz stick, the faster stick of ram will also run at 400mhz.

    EDIT: dtwn is right. 400mzh x 2 for dual channel.
