I bought this stuff not so long ago, and my cpuz is concerning me... can someone let me know if this sounds right...

Memory SPD

Module 1 DDR2, PC2-6400 (400 MHz), 1024 MBytes, Crucial Technology
Module 2 DDR2, PC2-6400 (400 MHz), 1024 MBytes, Crucial Technology

could the ram be not setup right and therefore be showing 6400??

I bought it from OcUK @ 03-may-07, so i doubt they would believe that fact that i just noticed this if it is the incorrect ram...

Cheers All

Seems fine too me DDR you double the amount it shows

E.G. my 5300 shows (333) so 667 DDR

I think you need to set the clocks speeds yourself...

I know i had to set the speeds myself for my Crucial Ballistix 2GB PC2-5300C3

post a screen shot of the SPD table in CPUz m8.

Also you should have a part number on the Dimms and the anti-static bags - post this too.

But the SPD table should have the memory timings programed for 533mhz as 5,5,5,15,30,2T

You will need to set it manually in the BIOS. The timings will probaiblly be wrong aswell.
