I have just added 2 more 512mb sticks of "PNY" memory to the spec in my sig....

Everything seems to be fine (set to 2T, running in dual channel etc) but when I had 2 sticks of 512 in, they ran at 200mhz, and now its telling me the 4 x 512 sticks are running at 166mhz!!!

My question is, since the mobo set up is set to "Auto", should I be manually setting it to 200mhz???

The mobo specs say that 4 double sided memory sticks (as all mine are) can only run at 166mhz, but I have been told that they should still run at 200mhz as the mobo came outr before my processor!?!?!? Is this right??

Can I update my bios maybe to get it to automatically set to 200mhz??


Thanks for any assistance guys...

Scratch that question, tried the 4 sticks and my system crashed twice whilst playing Ghost Recon!!! :mad:

Looks like I'm gonna have to try and sell my 2 x 512's and invest in 2 x 1gb sticks!!!

Any suggestions for decent, reasonably priced memory?? (not bothered about overclocking!!)

Cheers, StevieP
