I just received a new system, the RAM was supposed to be 2x512mb OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum Dual Channel, P/N = OCZ2P8001GK, with timings of 4-5-4-15. When I ran cpu-z, it said the timings were 5-5-5-15. I then went to check the part number of the ram in slots 1 and 2 and it says OCZ2P800512. I am using the Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard if that helps at all. (Bios revision 0702)

Did i get the right memory? Or did they put the wrong stuff in? :confused:

So many motherboards were having RAM compatibility problems, especially with OCZ, that they started relaxing the timings a little to make sure the system will boot. Go into the BIOS, raise memory voltage to 2.0 or whatever is recommend, and manually set the timings to the advertised specs.

Ahh, makes sense, thanks!! :)
