Memory not running correct speed

[chippy08]

Hi guys brought some of the vista gold ocz memory but i can only get it to run at 800MHZ instead of 400MHZ even if i set it in bios to 800MHZ cpuz only shows it running at 400MHZ. im using the asus p5q pro motherboard with e8400 chip. is there somethink in bios i have missed.

Also the timings are showing as 6 6 6 18

DDR = Double Data Rate

DDR2-800 / PC2-6400

400MHz Real Frequency

800MHz Effective (DDR) Frequency

CPU-z shows you Real Frequency

ASUS BIOS shows you Effective (DDR) Frequency

Hope this helps!
