It could be your processor only as a fsb of 333 not 400 so this will underclock your RAM to 333....Though on most cases the RAM usually overclocks the processor.
Go into your BIOS and find the FSB ratio and make sure its set on 10 x 200 which will give you 400mhz.
If you don't know where this is then look in your motherboad manual it will show you in there how to change the fsb ratio.
duz the progie ID it as that
ReplyDeletehow many sticks ?
some mobos need 2 sticks to give max DDR rate
is there a setting in the bios for ram speed ?
ddr means double data rate so the progie may be giving ½ the total rate
what progie did you use to test ? look in appz section for "sisoft sandra", thats the granddaddy
check you manual under ram to see if there are config specs
ReplyDeleteon my p5b, p4p & p5p asus mobos I had to have 2 sticks to get full rate

I think that's as high as it will go
ReplyDeleteI read your manual
1.7.2 Memory configurations
You may install 64MB,128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DDR DIMMs
into identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for each channel.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatability, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor.
so to get the DDR rate you need 2 sticks the same !
