Right off the assembly line
I have a Pentium 4, 1.7 Ghz, 400Mhz CPU FSB. I have installed a DDR400 DIMM
on my system. My motherboard (an ASUS P4P800-VM) supports 800Mhz CPU FSB
and 400Mhz memory frequency but the system shows DDR frequency as 266Mhz in
the POST screen. I tried installing the DIMM in another slot but to no
avail. Do I need to flash my BIOS? help! confused

How do you know that the motherboard supports 400MHz RAM. I doubt such an old mobo will support anything over 266/333.

pentium 4 1.7 ghz does not support any thing more than 266

this done as fsb is 133x4 hz thats why ram is 133x2 hz


Is the RAM freq connected wit the type of processor... ???
