RAM detection question

[SameerK]

I got some Kingston 3200 RAM recently, but I don't know if my mobo is recognizing it correctly.

My mobo does support PC3200 (400 mhz) (I even called ASUS to make sure), yet when I open cpuz, it shows it running at only 200 mhz. I got 2 sticks of 512. Both the sticks show the same statistics when I run cpuz. Is something wrong with my mobo or is that how it should show up?

ddr400... = 200 mhz. Its showing it correctly.

ddr600 = 300 mhz. OCZ PC4800 EL like mine

It's because it's dual-pumped, hence the name "double data rate". Your mobo recognizes that at single data rate, the memory is clocked at 200mhz, but at double data rate, it's at 400mhz.
