Are you curious about your RAM’s performance? Knowing your RAM speed can help you identify potential bottlenecks in your system. In this quick tip, I’ll show you how to check your RAM speed on Windows.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Click on the “Performance” tab.
- Under “Memory,” look for the “Speed” value.
The above image shows that the RAM has a speed of 2400MT/s, which is also the same as 2400MHz.
What to Expect:
In the Performance tab, you’ll see a summary of your system’s memory usage, including:
- Total Memory (In use)
- Available Memory
- Cached Memory
- Speed (in MHz/’MT/s’)
Interpreting RAM Speed Results:
RAM speed is measured in MHz (megahertz). Common speeds include:
- DDR3: 800-1600 MHz
- DDR4: 2133-3200 MHz
- DDR5: 4800-6400 MHz
A higher RAM speed generally indicates better performance.
Checking your RAM speed on Windows is a straightforward process. By following these steps, you’ll gain insight into your system’s memory performance and identify potential areas for upgrade, feeling reassured and confident in your actions.
