I've got the Asus p5gdc-v deluxe, which supports DDR and DDR2. I'm using DDR (only). The memory is PC-3200, and the mobo supports that, but when it posts it says PC-2700. cpuz also says the memory is only running at 166MHz. I've tried letting the mobo detect the memory from SPD, and manually setting the memory speed to 200MHz, nothing makes a difference.
If I tell the mobo to overclock everything by 10%, it runs the memory 10% faster (10% faster than 166, that is), so it clearly can go faster, it just refuses to under normal settings.
My BIOS version is the newest: 1007
update:
I'm using 2 sticks of PC-3200 512MB. If I use both sticks, in dual channel or single channel mode, I get only PC-2700. If I use only one stick (either one), then I get PC-3200. So it seems that the memory is okay, but the mobo won't use the full memory speed if I use both sticks.
