I don't have an answer but FWIW, I don't think it obviously points to a performance problem. Maybe the problem is a reporting one, where the two values simply report different ways to describe the same thing. Usually options to control the memory frequency change it only by a handful of percents, whereas here we're talking about a factor 2, and the fact that it's *exactly* 2 makes me suspect that it might be a problem not of speed but of reporting. IOW, I think that "Why" is the most important question here. === Stefan
