New DFI mobo and ram- UPDATE

[grimlykindo]

I just got a DFI Lanparty UT Nf4 Ultra-d and OCZ 2x1gb performance series 400mhz ram for my 3200+ venice. Everthing seems to be running fine, but I noticed my computer says its only 1gb ram with both sticks

I'm running everest and it says each stick is only 512mb@200mhz T1

each stick should be 1gb@400mhz T1, right? I'm I running in single channel?

The DFI bios is very confusing to me, could somebody help me find the single/dual channel selector to see if I have it set wrong?

Any other suggestions are welcome

400MHz is the actual DDR rate. In terms of FSB/LDT, the correct speed is 200MHz.

If you load performance defaults it will run in dual channel if it's possible. As long as the DIMMs are in the same-colour slots (preferably orange) you will be fine.

What BIOS version are you running? Version 623-2 seems to have the best memory compatibility. Flash to it and see if it works.

Flashed the bios, no luck

it looks like newegg sent me 2x512 instead of 2x1GB!

The spec should be printed on the DIMM. What's the part number?

Yup, I checked the part number to the OCZ website-

Newegg sent me the WRONG RAM!!!

I'm so pissed!! Oh, well I already called Newegg and got it ALL figured out

They even gave me free shipping for the RMA'd wrong RAM and the new RAM!

Plus I decided to bite the bullet and get Platinum OCZ EL instead!

Well, they should, it was their fault!!!

I hope things go better with the Platinum. That is some nice RAM.
