    Hi, Well basically I built a computer. Now the problem I have is that I put my 512 MB which is a 3200 400MHZ from my old computer to my new one. In my old computer it would come up as 400MHZ. The problem is in my new computer it comes up as 333MHZ in the BIOS. Could anyone help me with my problem? Thanks in advance for teh help. :D

    HI, well no I don't think you understood me correctly. I said I took the ram from my old computer and put it into my new computer. Thanks.

    It could be a combination of your cpu and motherboard.

    Is the FSB of your CPU 533MHz?

    Hey, lol the FSB of my cpu is 2000 MHZ lol. Well I got it working. It was that under the bios there was a function for auto or selection. I had it on auto before and now I checked and found there was an option for 400. I slected this and everyhtings great now. Its weird why if you put it to auto they don't make itr the max. But thanks guys.
