Mushkin PC3200 DDR400 memory running at 333MHz.

[rartech]

I have an Asus P4R800-VM motherboard, with a P4 2.0 cpu installed. The FSB on the motherboard is up to 800fsb. I put in a single 512MB stick of Mushkin PC3200 DDR400 and when I check the bios it shows it running at only 333mhz. It won't let me go into that item to manual push it up. Any ideas why it would do that? Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to the motherboard specs: http://www.asus.com/products/mb/soc...vm/overview.htm

Haven't you asked that elsewhere already, and hadn't we come to a conclusion already? Like, your CPU runs only 100 MHz FSB, and the chipset doesn't do CPU/RAM ratio of 1:2 - and thus you won't get the RAM up to 200 MHz?

Dang Peter, you're everywhere! Yes you did answer that question. I figured I would see if there are any more theories out there or if somebody else might have the same motherboard and had different experiences with it. It can't hurt to ask..........

The interesting thing to try would be to stick an "FSB800" (200 MHz really) processor in it, and see what speed the RAM runs at then.
