underclocked ram?

[{DvT}J.D.M_eg6]

why is my ram speed reading 400mhz when its suppose to be 800mhz'
i have read in a cpl of forums that due to thr mobo only supporting 1.95 v for ram it does that.my spc specs are below and all the details please help..btw i can give higher voltage thru aibooster 1.95v and up

DDR2 = DDRx2

2x400 = 800 :)


Not underclocked.

None of those screenshots even show your RAM speed. You need to capture the Memory tab of CPU-Z. The SPD tab just shows your RAM's rated speeds, not the speed it is actually running.

DDR2-800 runs at 400MHz, but since it is Double Data Rate (DDR) it moves bits twice that fast.

FYI:
DDR2-1066 = 533MHz
DDR2-800 = 400MHz
DDR2-667 = 333MHz
DDR2-533 = 266MHz
DDR-400 = 200MHz
DDR-333 = 166MHz
DDR-266 = 133MHz

lol duh

i did something really stupid...noob that i am.
i went in to the bios set it manualy to 800mhz and and set it to 1t and not the pc wont even post and some times the screen just stays black and sometimes i long beep following with 2 short beeps..do i have to take out the battery?

Yes :)

you could probably just take 1 stick of ram out, boot to bios, reset bios, then put the stick back in. easier than taking out the battery

I would rather take out the battery :)

ddr is dual data rate which it processes twice the info that a normal sdram would. It's kinda like a dual core cpu or something.

I made the same mistake when I was "tweaking" - very rarely pay any attention to the POST screen otherwise... then I saw "400" and was all "WHAT!?!"...

...We all make that mistake...... don't we?
