While my computer boots up it says i am running ddr333, i have 1 kingston pc3200 ddr400 and 1 corsair pc3200 ddr400 (both 512), does my hardware support this, in bios it said my max memory clock is 166, I have AMD 64 3000 and a soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR mobo, what is going on here

Hi,

Can you manualy set the ram clock to 200mhz?

If not I will have to try and find a manual for your mobo and look further.

Go into bios then goto Advanced Chipset Features, highlite DRAM Clock/Drive Control and press enter. highlite DRAM Clock and press enter, then enter a value of 200mhz

Don't forget to save when you exit, you should now have ddr 400 on your post screen on bootup.

I have been thru your manual and you are right the selections for the dram clock go up to 166mhz, this is confusing to say the least because your board does support ddr 400.

Set the max memory clock to auto and see if that works.

If not I would contact the manufactuer and ask about this maybe you need a bios update but thats hard to imagine they would ship a board that is said to support ddr400 and then need a bios update to do use it.

Let me know how you make out with this I am very interested
