I just got some new memory today and it is taking a lot out of me. First off i had to go though and update the BIOS. My motherboard is GA-K8N Pro and the memory that i am putting in it is 1gb (2X512) PC3200. The problem that i am getting is that when i go in to the BIOS and try to set the memory cpu ratio to 2/2 it lets me but it won't boot up at that point. right now i have it at 2/1.89 or something where the memory isnt running at 200mhz but 189Mhz. I am able to do all other timming freq on the memory.

Does anyone have this same problem or can anyone figure out why this is.

You should be using the divider if you are overclocking. If not overclocking, try loosening the timing. something like. 3-3-3-8
