I am using a ACER EM61SM/EM61PM motherboard with phoenix BIOS. My processor is AMD athlon 64X2 at 2.2 Ghz. The computer has a pair of 1GB DDR2-5300(667Mhz) installed when I bought it. the cpu-z is showing
CPU
Core Speed: 2200mhz
Multiplier: X11
Bus Speed: 200.9 mhz
HT link: 1004.5
Memory
Frequency: 200.9 mhz
FSB/RAM: CPU/11
the memory is only running at 200x2=400mhz!!!!!which is the speed for DDR2-3200!!!! I then took out the memory and installed a pair of 1GB DDR2-6400(800Mhz), the memory speed still stays at 200x2=400Mhz..!!!!! I think the problem is the FSB/RAM divisor...it is stuck at 11, the memory speed will always be my processor speed/11 which is a dead 200Mhz. Is there a way to change the divisor? I see no option in my CMOS setting or BIOs setting... where is the option usualy under? Or is there a switch on the board itself? or basicly it is a normal condition. Thanks so much!!!!
 
I don't know. Acer doesn't supply any manuals that are anywhere near detailed enough. All I can suggest is look around in the BIOS and try changing the settings that sound like they might be related.

I don't know if it works but I think there was a software tool that would let you adjust the memory controller settings on athlon 64s from windows. Someone might have a link for it.
