75MHz DDR1 in a TForce 939

[NauticalGopher]

I have two identical OCZ DDR1 PC3200 memory sticks that I am trying to run dual channel in a TForce 939 motherboard. When I run CPU-Z one stick shows SPD as PC1200 (75MHz). When I set the memory bios settings for auto it runs at 100MHz (CPU/20). Forcing the memory to 200MHz in the bios does nothing to change this.
The other stick SPD shows correct PC3200 (200MHz) but the motherboard wont do dual channel.

Any ideas why one stick is showing PC1200? Anyway to force it to PC3200 200MHz? Just setting the memory clock to 200MHz in the bios does not seem to work.

Thanks

I wouldn't have thought it'd even recognize memory running that slow, there's never been any standard slower than 100MHz (200MHz DDR PC1600).

I suppose maybe the module just has a bad SPD programming. No idea why manually setting the speed to 200 won't make it run at the proper speed and in dual channel, but it seems like you need to send that module back.

If you run the system with only that module in it, and try it in each of the slots, does it make any difference? See if you can force the speed with only that module installed.

Thanks for your help. I cannot get the bad memory to go 200MHz in any of the slots, by itself or with other modules. I am working the OCZ to RMA the stick.

Thanks,
