    No, you're not am idiot. If that is the worse mistake you make working on computers, you'll be an expert, like writhziden.

    I'd just run the smart test and the short drive self test. If there are no problems noted, let it go. The other tests can take a long time, and we have no real indication there is anything wrong with them. Same for the seagate test.

    Does CPU-Z see it as Dual-Channel now? I know you caught the glitch, but it's always good to double check these things.

    For what it's worth, on my last AMD motherboard (MSI) they actually had it wrong in the manual. When I booted it up and saw "Single Channel" during the POST routine I knew something was up.

    You're getting some good advice, so pardon the interruption. :)

    Yeah. I had registered the board for warranty purposes and about a month after I bought it I got an email telling me to disregard the manual. Fortunately I had already figured it out.

    DDR stands for Double Data Rate. Take that 400MHz which CPU-Z is showing you and double it - then you've got your 800MHz just fine. :)
