HP DIMM memory speed

[chuckk281]

Kim was looking for an explanation on DIMM terminology:

Hi guys

Received the below info from Qspec for a dl380G7. I checked and the same is written  for BL460G7

Why is the 8GB memory module presented as native speed 1066Mhz while looking at the specs further down, it is presented as 1333Mhz… (see yellow spots)

• HP 8GB (1x8GB) Dual Rank x4 PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333) Registered CAS-9 Memory Kit   500662-B21

Typo or do I misunderstand something?

Good morning

The 10600 is the max DIMM throughput the 1333 is the data rate.
