Yep, download, unzip, open the folder, click on CPUZ.exe & wait...sometimes it takes up to 30 sec for it to open.

BTW, it helps to have folder options configured to show the file extensions (such as .doc, .exe, .txt, .zip, etc)...it makes it much easier to find the correct file.

If you have PC3200 (aka DDR400), it's supposed to run at 200MHz frequency.

EDIT: sorry, I just realized that you're probably asking about your Gateway which *should* have DDR2-667. If it's running at 200MHz, you must have a setting misconfigured in the BIOS.

Is this for the Gateway or are you asking about a different system? The model number you gave is incomplete...you have an MCP61PM2MA-8EKRS2H:

Have you read thru the manual, especially the chapter on the BIOS?

"DRAM Configuration
