Could use some help with my RAM

[knoober]

thanks guys but I think I asked poorly. What I mean is how can the bandwidth be changed by increasing clockspeed? Isnt bandwidth determined by physical characteristics, lioke number of pins and lanes to the cpu?

It's a combination of timings and speed. But generally the faster ram has a higher bandwidth. Take a look at some of the new DDR4/z170 numbers. They're in the 40k+ mb/s. Have a look at Woomacks latest

I see a little better now. I was working under the assumption that the bandwidth was a physical characteristic that could not be changed. I thought that moving more data meant increasing the speed/rate of transfer,but that the data would still be bottlenecked by a physical connection /wire/trace of some sort. But bandwidth is apparently the measure of the transfer rate! Who knew?
