Hey all I am having problems with my memory reading at 400mhz and not 800. I have changed the setting in my Mobo bios and it still is at 400. Am I missing something or am I do something wrong? I currently have a Biostar TA790gx A2+ with a AMD 7750 kuma processor. Its Vista Ult 32 bit...THe Ram I have is OCZ part number OCZ2VU8002GK and im running 4 gigs of it...hope I posted this in the right spot and any help will be greatly apreciated thanks.

If you're referring to the DRAM Frequency field in CPU-Z, then the frequency shown will be 1/2 the effective DRAM speed.

Oh Ok I see...I was currently turned on by a friend to 3d Mark Vantage and got a crap score of 4455...And when looking to improve it I noticed the 400....hoping it was my problem...so now I guess i have to look elsewhere for improvements...thanks for your help

You huit print screen button on your keyboard, copy and past it into microsoft paint, save it as a jpeg image then google imgshack or another image host providing, upload the image and insert the link into your post using the insert image button.

Thats correct. Same specs on my g skill stock, theses types of ram can handle 1.9V So what I did was set mine at 1.9 then work up from there....Cpuz Reads 1/2 of ram speed, your speeds are running at 800mhz
