Howdy there, Ill get right to it.
I recently bought 2 Gb of the OCZ Gig sticks 3200 400's.
I was running the kingston 512 3200 400.
I am running on an Asus board, with the 3000+ and the nvidia chipset.
I stuck em in and everything appeared to be fine. After it booted up I then re-installed xp pro. Now when I run Desert Combat or any other Game, It runs terrible. If the game doesn't crash it freezes every few seconds or so and runs my processor at 100%. I am updated, minus service pack 2. All drivers updated. Vid card driver is the nvidia 7.3 not the 7.7. Anything you can think of is greatly appreciated.
 
Ok.... So it doesn't appear to be a memory issue. Now we have narrowed it down to a bios issue.

The FSB is reading during boot up that the FSB is running at 166MHZ instead of the 400MHZ that its supposed to be.

Can't make it change.
Any thoughts ?
 
When i change it to 400 mhz i have to reset the bios via the jumper. yet everything on my machine is made for the 400 mhz fsb....
