My asus board is only detecting my 800mhz memory as 667 by default. When I go into the BIOS I have the option of setting the FSB/Memory config as either auto, manual, linked or unlinked. My FSB is set at 1333...obviously when I set it to linked it detects it as 1333 and 667...detecting the memory as half the speed as the FSB, which sounds normal...but the memory should be running at 800mhz correct? I mean it is PC2 6400..
If I choose manual and leave my FSB at 1333 and set my memory to 800mhz, it shows as being set to 800 at the startup screen, but in windows under Everest it's still being detected as DDR2 667....and it causes my system to freeze up also.
It has done this on multiple versions of the BIOS, and i'm using the newest, non beta, BIOS version for this motherboard.
Why is it doing this?
