hello,

I have two pieces of 512mb twinmos pc3200 but in my bios when I tr to change it to 400mhz it won't let me. My max is at 333mhz.

Is this correct?

I not sure if your mobo supports it, but i think it does have you tried updating the BIOS?

You do know that 400Mhz is the DDR speed? The FSB is actually only 200Mhz.

I am also trying to figure out a similar problem. In Bios I try to set my ram (see sig) from 200 to 218mhz (218*2=436) to match rated speed and set voltage to 2.75. When I look in cpu-z it returns a speed of 109mhz... I'm confused...

Nero,, Not meaning to hijack just didn't want to start another thread if we could both get some answers here.

yes my bios is updated to latest. Also I o/c my FSB 230 x 10.5 before 230 x 11 wasn't stable. But the werid thing is I can't get the RAM to work properly.
