Do you think i've been ripped off?(pics)

woah imageshack is seriously slow today..

But yes you got what you paid for, that's PC3200 modules.

Are you setting the speed/timings of the RAM manually in the BIOS? They aren't running at anything listed in the SPD Table (they should be at 200MHz, 2.5-4-4-8, but they are at ~166MHz, 2.5-3-3-7)
 
No i have not tweaked anything in BIOS,and yes that was my question,i don't know much about this things and i was worried that the Ram modules were running at a slower clock speed,but seems that everything is the way it should be.Thanks.

I have no idea what you just said but thats the way i got it.Is it ok? :rolleyes: sorry for being ignorant.
 
cromwell, that table at the bottom just shows what frequencies it can run at, if you loko up a bit you will see that it says that it is running at 200Mhz.
 
no its not running at 200Mz, thats the MAX frequency. if you look at the first image its running at "166MHz". The BIOS simply has down-clocked the memory to run in sync with your processor.

To make the memory really run at rated timings and MHz, you have to go in and manually change it. This might require added voltage, and setting up a CPU : RAM ratio like 4:3 or something (because if you try 1:1 it might overclock your rig.)

you DID receive PC3200 memory, it simply is not running at PC3200 speeds by BIOS default. this is normal, and it is easy to fix in BIOS.
