RAM at wrong speed in Windows, but OK in BIOS

[theChameleon]

hello... yeah, i guess this old comp has all the wrong speed stuff in it.

the RAM i got for this Desktop, which the BIOS correctly identified, is at 400MHz.

but when i use CPU-Z, it tells me the speed is only at 200MHz.

why? is this the program's fault, or is some setting screwy?

board: P4P-800-E
memory: Kingston KVR400X64C3A/1G

Don't you already have a thread on this? If so, you should not post the same question more than once - it only causes confusion.

the other one's about CPU. this one's about memory... i thought ppl'd wanna concentrate on one thing at a time.

but im sorry if it causes any confusion,

DDR-400 (PC-3200) memory operates at speed of 200MHz.  Data transfer rate is 400MHz.
DDR=Double Data Rate; 200 *2 = 400
