Is it possible for the ram to be running so slowly ? The bios on a mates machine is reporting it running at 166MHz

The bios is set to 'auto' for ram timings

Even when I tell it to use the ram's 'spd' its the same

The cpu is an athlon 3200+ (or a 3300+, I can't remember)

I don't think all motherboards support DDR400 (PC3200)....I know that mines drops back to DDR333 (166Mhz) with more than 1 stick of memory.

Ok, thanks

Because its DDR ram, it runs at 2 x 166mhz so is effectively running at 333mhz.
Lots of mobos don't support PC3200(400mhz). Mine doesn't. Its an Asus A7V333. But I run my PC3200 at 333mhz & because it is underclocked I can use aggressive memory timings.
