hi, I was wondering if anyone could help or has same problem.

have ffg setup:

CPU : amd 64 3000+
MB : Biostar K8VHA Pro
mem : 1 x kingston 512k
1 x vdata 256k
vid : ATI 9800
HD : 1 x 40G maxtor; 1 x 80G maxtor

I'm currently having problems when both mem chips are plugged in, it detects that they are DDR333 memory whereas if either one is plugged in alone it is detected as DDR400.

this poses as problem when I'm doing video playback or games wherein it seems there is timing error, game/video slows down at every half a minute then speeds up very quickly.. no such problems when each mem is inserted alone.

Was wondering if someone can enlighten me or solve this problem for me.. suspect it's the mobo.. so far no response from Biostar support..

Thanks/rgds
