im running a 2.4c with 1:1 mem ratio and cas 2 and im getting only 2900mb/sec , the comparison shows a similar setup getting 5000mb/sec

sry for the blurry quality but you should be able to tell the bios settings if u look for a bit

btw i got buffalo pc3700 ram

it looks like you are not in dual channel mode.
try to verify it.

you must use bank 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 NOT! 1 and 2 and 3 and 4!

Run CPU-Z (free download). Look at the memory screen (tab at the top). That should tell you if dual channel is working. You have to use two sticks of RAM and they have to be installed in RAM slots that are the same color.

Post what FSB you're running (I can't make out it out on the fuzzy pic). My 2.4C using PC3500 RAM and 5:4 ratio running at 275 FSB makes close to 6,000 mb/s memory bandwidth in Sandra.
