Memory newb here so be warned
I have two 1-Gig PC3200 memory sticks that look like are running only at 333 MHz, and I'm not sure if there is a way to fix the problem in my BIOS and if so how. My motherboard does support PC3200.
Running CPU-Z I get the following statistics:
Frequency: 157.9 MHz
FSB-DRAM: CPU/14
CAS Latency: 2.5 clocks
RAS to CAS Delay: 3 clocks
RAS Precharge: 3 clocks
Cycle Time: 7 clocks
Bank Cycle Time: 10 clocks
DRAM Idle Timer: 16 clocks
Command Rate: 2T
The problem I'm guessing is because my two sticks have different SPD timings. One is 2.5-3-3-6 while the other is 3.0-3-3-8.
Am I stuck at 333 MHz until I can get two sticks with the same timing? If so, would I be better off taking one of the sticks out and going with only 1 Gig of RAM?
