Setting my memory correctly

[mangoluvr]

I have and asus a7n8x deluxe board with rev2.0 when I boot up it says memory is at 200mhz frequency in single channel mode. Is this correct, am I not suppose to have 400mhz in dual channel mode? My memory is kensington pc 3200 1 gig of it. I think I have to mess around in the bios to set this correctly, but before I do I want to know if I am wrong or right. I am aware that the rev 2.0 on my motherboard is suppose to support 400 is it not? Thanks for any suggestions.

go into the bios in advance chipset i believe. what type of cpu do you have? if you have a 266fsb one, set the bus to 133, if you have a 333fsb one, set it to 166, 400, set it to 200. it'll tell you what speed your memory is in there too.

I have a athlon 2800 i think its a 333 fsb so i guess i have to set it to 166

In the bios advanced chipset, it says "memory by spd or auto" and below it, it says " resulting frequency is 200 mhz".

is your pc reading your xp2500 at its correct name and speed? i just bought an a7n8x-x and i had to change mine from 100 to 166 for it to see my xp2800 right.
