| 1183176 | 2011-03-03 09:03:00 | I'm after some more RAM for my new media centre, and as I know sweet FA about it, I'm somewhat confused . As per the screenshots, the RAM is DDR2 6400/400Mhz . . . . . but when I look on Pricespy, the DDR2 seems to be either 6400/800Mhz or 3200/400Mhz . What am I after exactly? :waughh: |

| 1183179 | 2011-03-03 20:49:00 | DDR stands for Double Data Rate 400 Mhz is the clock frequency 800 is the data transfer rate, 2 bits/clock pulse Confusion Marketing uses the higher number because it looks better. |

And in a HTPC/XBMC scenario does RAM quality make a difference? |
