Hi. I just purchased 512MB of new memory today - OCZ DUAL DDR PC-3200
Performance Series Rev. 3 Dual Channel, 512MB, PC400. I installed it on
my Dell Dimension 4600 (which already had 512M of RAM Dual Channel).
Here is the report on my computer BEFORE installing the memory:
___________________________________________________________________________________________
This PC currently has 512 MB of memory installed, and supports a
maximum of 4096 MB. There are 4 memory slots on the motherboard, and 2
of them are empty. The maximum memory module supported by this system
is 1024 megabytes. You can add up to 2 PC3200 DDR DIMM modules (choose
from available sizes below). To maintain consistent memory performance,
select memory with a CAS Latency (CL) of 3.0 clocks or lower.
Slot 1: Kingston 256MB PC3200 DDR K
Slot 2: Kingston 256MB PC3200 DDR K
Slot 3: EMPTY
Slot 4: EMPTY
Total RAM Installed : 512MB
Type : DDR DIMM PC3200
Used RAM Slots: 2 of 4
Memory Bus Frequency: 199 MHz
Memory Timings: 3.0-3-3-8
Number Of Processors : 1 Hyper-Threading Enabled
Type : Intel Pentium 4 3000 MHz
Package : mPGA-478
Manufacturer Codename : Northwood
Clock Speed : 2992 MHz
Clock Multiplier : 15.0
Front Side Bus (FSB) Speed : 800 MHz
L2 Cache Size : 512 KBytes Stepping : D1
Trace Width : 0.13
Microcode : 21h
Instruction Sets : MMX, SSE, SSE2
___________________________________________________________________________________________
After installing the memory, the system correctly reported a total of
1GB of RAM, but at a speed of 266Mhz INSTEAD OF 400. I took the new
memory out, I rebooted, and the speed went back again to 400Mhz. I
re-installed it, I rebooted again, and the speed went down again to 266
Mhz.
What could it be ????
Thank you.
