Possible ram problem?

hey guys! I recently bought 4X 1GB 400Mhz PC3200 crucial tech ram sticks and it is showing in CPU-Z running at 200Mhz!! (pic included) and I had some old ones before that and they too showed running at 200Mhz which is why I bought the new ram, is there something wrong with my board? or is it normal?

comp specs: HP Media Center m1270n and I have windows se7en 32Bit 3.0Ghz cpu

is there some sort of settings I have to make in the bios? I've looked and I can't see anything that pertains to the ram frequency settings what could be wrong? thanks

Are your system specs correct?

Ok, OK ...I missed your system info posted inline, but from what I can tell, you're running in single channel when your system supports dual channel, as per this link (and a few others):

and here:

From which this screen shot is taken:



The fact that you're running in single channel (as per your CPUz screenshot) means either that you're using the wrong RAM or it's somehow the wrong config.

Also ignatz is correct. You double the 200 DRAM which is doubled by FSB to 400MHz. FSB- Front Side Bus
