Its either the program being written before pc3200 came out, or the mobo.

No worries- wont matter.
no no no!
this proggy read the spd on stick, only here is stored "Corsair".

i have a similar problem.
i have xms 3500 cl2.... but this pic shows PC3200.

CMX256 A-3500 C2
XMS3502v1.1
024947

i use cpu-z v 1.15, the lastest.

fraudulent ? (corsair, my shop...) :eek:

Corsair uses 6ns=166mhz=pc2700 chips on pc3200 sticks and 5ns=200mhz=pc3200 chips on pc3500 sticks so I think it is the reason why cpu-z reads it that way, in my opinion.
 
Probably you need an updated version of CPU-Z to recognised PC3200/3500.

Secondly, It's because of PC3200 and PC3500 are not yet JEDEC Specs. Current JEDEC Specs is limited to PC2700 (aka 166 FSB), most probably the CPU-Z programmer writes the codes according to JEDEC, so that why it reports PC2700.

Don't bother with reports as long as the memory could run as intended.
 
i heard a lot of peeps can do 2-5-2-2 @ 400mhz with their corsair pc3200c2, but mine just stuck at 354mhz only, beyond this speed, i need a 2-6-2-2 no matter how much voltage i threw at it...mmm....weird!!1
