I just installed 2 gigs of DDR PC3200 dual channel memory in my computer. The package says PC3200 400MHZ. When I open Everest it shows PC3200 at 200MHZ. What makes it run at 400MHZ? The timings are right..2..3..2..5 . Is there some setting that I have to change or is dual channel memory read a different way?

    Technically, your DDR400 runs at 200MHz, but DDR can read/write at the beginning and end of each clock cycle, effectively doubling the bandwidth (400MHz)
