I am having a RAM problem.

I have had a DFI lanparty motherboard with 512MB of Kingston HyperX PC3500 running for awhile now. I had it overclocked to PC4000 speeds and whatnot. Now I just got another stick of HyperX 3500 to bring my total up to 1gig. However when I enter CPU-Z it tells me the new stick is 3200 even when its the only stick in. I bought the second stick brand new sealed and everything. I called my local store where I got it and they weren't sure what was wrong, they said my motherboard isn't even supposed to support 3500, but CPU-Z has been reading my older stick as that for awhile. Any help would be much appreciated.

Is it possible that they just somehow screwed up and gave me PC3200?
 
It could be possible that you got the wrong kind, but what may be the problem is CPU-z not reading the speed correctly. This happens a bit, rarely, but it can happen especially with overclocking. Try other programs to verify this before you go through the hassle of RMAing the RAM.
