So, I finally built my new computer, and got it running, but I've noticed quite a while ago that my computer is registering PC2-4200 RAM (Something like that).
Not the PC2-6400 that I installed...



Help?
 
Where are you seeing it listed as PC2-4200?
PC2-6400 should be running at DDR2 800mhz.
Tried running CPU-Z?

Otherwise go into the bios under Advanced (Configure System Frequency/Voltage) and make the sure the memory speed is correct. I think it lists the setting as DDR2-800Mhz on that board.

I'm seeing it as the POST message when you bootup the computer

Its currently set to Auto. I can easily force it to DDR2-800Mhz

If you did OC, you must set RAM speed/timing/volts manually, "Auto" won't give you stability and it may force the BIOS to post the RAM misconfigured.

Good Luck.
