Could someone tell me if the speed of Kodak, Ektachrome 320T(tungsten)
is 320? am first time user of this film and am not sure if the "320"
means that is the speed of the film or not??

All Kodak (and best as I know, all other brand) films have a number
that directly relates to the ISO number (formerly called ASA number).
For Instance Kodachrome 64 is ASA/ISO 64 speed. Kodacolor (or
whatever modern designation for class of print film) 400 is 400 speed.
Ektachrome 320T is 320 speed Tungsten, etc.

That's one reason most older film cameras have the little holder on
the back so you can pull the end panel off the box and slide it in the
holder to remind you what speed you have in the camera, should you
forget. I suppose most modern cameras with LCD or LED displays read
the DX coding off the film, automatically set the ISO in the camera
(unless you manually override it) and probably show you on a screen
somewhere (or in the viewfinder) what your film speed is.
