ram

I know that I can check CPU info via cat /proc/cpuinfo and memory info via cat /proc/meminfo.

But cat /proc/meminfo yields results like the following:

MemTotal:     66098352 kB
MemFree:        329152 kB
Buffers:        632432 kB

HugePages_Free:      0
HugePages_Rsvd:      0
HugePages_Surp:      0
Hugepagesize:     2048 kB

I want to learn more about the clock speed of the memory (in Mhz?).

How do I get that information?
