DDR2 667 in disguise?

nonoc · 02-02-2008, 04:45 AM

I recently bought 2 sticks of matched Corsair DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 and when I installed it in my machine it posted as DDR2 667 4-4-4-12. Is the ram mislabeled or is it misread by my machine?

Abit AW8D, 805D intel mobo

i would say it downcocked because your motherboard does not support over 667

Thanks all,
My mobo is supposed to support DDR2 800, so I sent the ram back and some new ram will arrive shortly. If I still have the problem I will download everest per manic.

Thanks
