Question Under dmidecode, my 'Configured Clock Speed' is lower than my 'Speed'. What does each term mean and why are they not the same? Answer Under dmidecode, Speed is the expected speed of the memory (what is advertised on the memory spec sheet) and Configured Clock Speed is what the actual speed is now. The cause could be many things but the main possibilities are mismatching memory and using a CPU that doesn't support your expected memory clock speed. Please use only one type of memory and make sure that your CPU supports your memory. Was this FAQ helpful?
