When set at stock speeds such as DDR2 800 or DDR2 533 memtest correctly reports the ram speed. But when I have it set to something in between like DDR2 750 for instance, it is incorrectly reported as DDR550 (250x2). I know it isn't running at that because CPU-Z identifies the ram as running at 375mhz x 2 (DDR750).

Is this a bios problem, a memtest problem, or a ram problem? MB is P5WD2 with a PD 830.

Thanks!

It appears as though memtest just isn't correctly reporting non standard speeds, although it seems to be testing the ram and reporting errors properly.

Hopefully someone can confirm this.
