Why come my RAM's running @ 2T?

My specs:
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9
AMD Athlon64 3000+ (Winchester)
BFG 7800 GT OC
2x1 gig Patriot RAM (direct link)

I think that's everything relevant, anyway. I've only got those two sticks of RAM in there and, according to EVEREST, it's running in 2T. Why?
 
May have defaulted like that for some reason..just go in to bios and manualy change it to 1T. Be sure to run memtest afterwards to make sure it's stable. Could be that the winchester can't handle 2 double sided sticks at 1T.
 
Thanks, stevty2889. I'll give that a spin and I guess post back here with an update or something.
 
"guaranteed to work at 400MHz at 2-3-2-5 timing."

It's guaranteed to work at that speed, but usually they don't set the SPD to that low of a setting for compatibility reasons.
 
I have 2X 1gig set of cas 2 ocz platinums and they default to 2.5 and 2t as well. been too lazy to change it to 1T and cas 2, but If i knew it would be 2T I would have stayed with my 1 gig set.
 
How lazy do you have to be to complain about conservative SPD settings? Jeez. Just go into the BIOS and change things around.

You can change it in BIOS easily enough.

How do you check (in windows) if you're running at 1T/2T? I couldn't find in in CPU-Z anywhere...

maybe I don't feel like messing with it right now, because I'm too lazy to run the tests to make sure it's stable.

besides I'm not even sure it's supposed to run at 1T.

Of course it's supposed to run at 1T. That's the default behavior for all DDR SDRAM. 2T is only available in the event that the memory controller has some issue with the DIMMs, such as when you're running two or more double-sided DIMMs on a s754 platform(sometimes this forces DDR333 and 2T command rate).

Since we're talking s939 here, all paired PC3200/DDR400 DIMMs should run at DDR400 with 1T command rate without issue.
