I've just bought new mobo with via kt600 chipset. (its MSI delta) I have ddr400 memory (two dimms with 256MB on each). The CPU is Athlon XP 2500+ with 333MHz fsb. OS: Windows XP Pro
Whitin bios I have adjusted everything right (memory is at 400MHz), cpu uses 166mhz bus(x2=333).
On boot post screen its written that memory is at 400MHz.
Here everything is ok. But when I run memory benchmark (Sisoft Sandra 2004) the results are weak like I am using ddr333 not 400!? (the result is about 2470MBs/s). Comparing to other systems with ddr400 (about 3000MBs/s) its realy weak. Comparing to ddr333 systems its ok.
I set memory to work like ddr333 and the result was the same - 2470MBs/s!
I begin to thing that BIOS is "faking" me that my memo is realy at 400MHz.
Is there any reasonable explanation of that. And could I fix this problem. I want to use my mobo and my memory at 100%, for that I have payd.
10x in advance
