Idenify memory as 133 or 100 maybe 66?

[muckmail]

I have a viking memory stick. I trying to determine the speed
of it. It has a numbers 15 & 1222894 & 6760-8246-128
on a paper sticker. It also has another sticker with barcode
that has the number 0007377268. I have put the memory
in my computer to see if my bios will tell me the speed. No
luck there. I have looked for those numbers on the internet
without luck. Is there a way to determine speed of this
memory stick.
thank you,

Download and install CPU-Z, it'll tell you everything you need to know about your memory:-

I downloaded the above program and ran it with all 3 133meghertz on my motherboard and got a reading
of 100meghertz in the memory section of the downloaded program. I also got the same reading for the single chip in question. Does that mean I am my memory is running at 100meghertz? My instructions in my motherboard manual
says it will take 133 or 100 memory. Is there a setting I should be
conserned with to make my 133 meghertz memory to run at 133
meghertz. The board is a AK74-SC/SU motherboard
thank you,

check your bios, but all should be plug and play. if 1 stick is at 100mhz all will run at that speed.

Check bios and did not find "Plug & Play" I did see referance
to DRAM clock. Default setting is Hos + Clk Other setting is
HCKK+33m. Does that set bus speed to 133mhertz. I also
see Bank 1/2. 3/4 and bank 5/6. It had settings set to 8/10ns
for all banks. Options for bank settings are Normal, Medium,
fast, Turbo. Does this control memory speed. The program
said my memory speed is 100mhertz in the memory section but
in SPD section it show memory chip info as 133meghertz.
Does any of the bios settings control that?
thank you,

muckmail did you get my PM? What is your FSB running at?

BTW can you post your system specs?

This is easier than you guys are making it out to be.

If you know the manufacturer of the chip (as you said, Viking) find the serial number on the stick and go to Viking's website (http://www.vikingcomponents.com/) and find some details or shoot them an email.

Done deal.

Problem resolved.
The program at http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php#download idenified the chip so that problem is solved. It was not really
a viking chip. It is Mosel chip. The software gave me that info.
The chip was pulled from an unknown computer so I guess
the numbers I was using was not valid viking number. The
program worked well.
thank you,
