You could download Everest Home edition, click + next to Motherboard then click SPD to look at memory speed to see how your system recognises the memory

Thanks for reply.
It says
Total 1022 MB
Used 272 MB
Free 750 MB
Utilization 27 %
When the PC boots it says DDR Ram Running at 266Mhz is there a way to change this to 400Mhz or is it possible to change it?

I was wondering what Everest says about the speed, it should be 7 down in the SPD list

Hi Elvedin,

I am very familar with your board, go into bios and set the ram clock to 200 mhz, this will make the ram run at its rated speed of 400mhz.

Your cpu is a 333mhz so if stability problems occur wicth sometimes but not always happen when running the cpu and ram out of sync then set the ram clock at 166mhz this will run the ram and cpu at 333mhz.

I have that board with a 2500 xp barton and run my ram at 200/400 mhz no problem but some others report that compination results in stability problems so you have to try it and see. If you have any problems just reset the cmos by the jumper on the mobo that will load the bios defaults and get you running again.
