How do I know if my new 400mhz PC3200 512mb Ram is going to its full performace and not getting "underclocked"??

What settings do I need to change in the BIOS or do I just leave it??

I have just installed it in place of my 512MB SDRam PC133

Thanks

Sure it does, first take a look at the SPD tab, it says Max Bandwith, in this case PC3200 (200Mhz), then take a look at the memory tab, it tells you the actual frequency the ram is running at. But remember, this speed is also limited by the chipset and processor, so it can be lower than the 200Mhz. Smile
