Default Is this a memory problem?

Hello all,

just ordered my 2nd gig of DDR2-800 Corsair xms for my computer:

Newegg Link

This is a screenshot with my new ram installed (Sorry if its hard to read) Should the frequency read 225 Mhz (Which is what its showing)? The timings are:

Frequency - 225.0 MHz
FSBRAM - CPU/12

tCL - 4
tRCD - 4
tRP - 4
tRAS - 12

Bank Cycle Time (tRC) - 23
Command Rate (CR) - 2T

I thought it was suppose to read 400 Mhz. I run my processor overclocked with a FSB of 225Mhz, and thats all I do. Do I need to change the timings or do something else? Thanks in advance for all the advice thats coming.

To set your memory speed to the right setting you'll have to go into the BIOS. In the BIOS go to the Cell Menu. At the top you will see the Current Memory Speed (its below Current CPU Clock and Current FSB Multiplier). Look for the Memclock Mode option and set it to manual. Then adjust the memclock value until the current memory speed it the right value. I don't know if the Current speed is the DDR value or not, you'll have to play it as you see it. The current speed if it's the DDR value will be 450MHz, in which case you'll want to make the current speed 800MHz. If it says 225MHz then make it 400.

Thanks for the help. I'll look into it as soon as I get home tonight and let you know how things look then.
