I just bought 2 sticks of RAM listed in the title off of a forum. The stickers clearly state Buffalo pc3200 cls 2.5 2x256 matched pair. The ram itself is imprinted with Winbond 252WE W942508BH-5 and are in great shape. To take advantage of my newly aquired Soltek A64 board I bought these to run at pc3200 speeds with the ability (down the road) to tweak and OC, replacing the pc2700 I previously had installed.
Now the problem. I cannot get the RAM recognized as pc3200. The BIOS options include max memclock which is 100, 133, 166, or auto. (200 tops according to specs before any tweaking) I can't seem to get the ram to run at 1:1 although through OCing the A64's FSB (or HTT I guess) it runs fine at higher speeds. All diagnostic software reads it as pc2700 ram. (BIOS, Sandra, Everest, CPUID)
CPU-Z speed
CPU-Z memory
I've tried both sticks at once as well as either stick at a time. I know that this CPU and/or board has been somewhat picky concerning RAM before from other posts. Is it just a compatibility problem or some setting? (everything's auto configured, HT at 4) Or am I just an A64 noob and should be beat for making an obvious mistake? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
