New Ram not working at 800MHZ?

Hi guys,

I recently purchased 4 sticks of Kingston HyperX 2GB RAM off OCUK during their offer week. As you can see from the screenshots they are rated 6400.

From the CPU-Z readings, it seems to be running at 400MHZ instead of the 800MHZ its supposed to be running? I am new at this so I might be wrong, am I missing something really important here?

Thanks!

Not sure why the images are not appearing. Perhaps I should place the link.

That's fine, you have to double the figure given in cpu-z, as it's double data rate memory.

Ok, now I feel like an idiot!

Thanks!
