Memory speed only showing 200mhz on post

so heres a strange one. I just moved the guts of my system into a new case this past weekend. When I booted up for the first time I noticed in post my memory speed is only showing 200mhz. I have 3 sticks of memory in my system and should run at 333mhz, which it was befor ethe move. Even mroe curious, I took out one stick and set the remaining two in slots 1/3 and the system only reads it as 333... not 400. I am a bit perplexed and have no clue how to fix this. My specs are below. I know that it is HIGHLY recommended to run chips that are similar but I've never had a problem until I moved the guts to the new case.
In bios I have memclock set to AUTO. I have changed the memclock to LIMIT DDR400 but that doens't change anything. I've tryed changing the CL/TRCD/TRAS/TRP with both LIMIT DDR400 and AUTO.... no changes. I have upped the voltage all the way to 2.85 with again both memclock settings. I have played around with my FSB, I've gotten it all the way to 215 without a problem, but memroy always stays at 200mhz. The only thing I haven't tryed is resetting the bios witht he jumper and starting over (though I had reset bios defualts, rebooted and then made all teh changes again).
I ran Memtest for 24 hours on all three sticks and they all came out clean. I also ran Sandra 2005 and the numbers are embarrassing for the kind of system I have. I'm stumped, any suggestions?
OH, one last thing, I booted the system with just one stick of memroy in each slot, thats 9 boots... each witht he setting of memclock at AUTO and again at LIMIT400... it either ran at 200mhz or 333mhz on post....
So there is my ordeal, system is stable but I'd like to get the memmory back up to where it was before the swap.

Ok... I shoulld clarify.
with 3 sticks of DDR3200 sandra ran a little over 1200
with 2 sticks of DDR3200 (slots 1 and 3) sandra ran a tad over 2108
there are a couple of pictures eblow to show the post at 15.gig memroy and 1gig. I am refferin to what is being displayed on POST in regards to the DRAM clock.

I have 8GB memory, but only shows total of 6GB

I have an early 2009 iMac with 8GB of memory, and before I upgraded to Mavericks, it would show a total of 8GB between used and available memory in my memory cleaning app.
Now, it only shows a total of 6GB between used and available memory.
Any reason it's not reporting the full 8GB of available memory?
Thanks,

What memory cleaning app and why are you using it...?
How much does "About This Mac" report..?
How much does "Activity Monitor" report..?

Memory Speed Wrong In Cpu-z I have ddr533

Sorry for the double post didnt mean to do that
WELL I finally got my better memory to see how far I can push my prescott but only thing is my memory speed is showing up as pc3200 in cpu-z I am running in dual channel and yes I do have one in each slot (1 and 3). Can any one help on this issuse and what setting do I set it to in the bios auto?any help would be great. and what would be good timings for this memory.

UnderTheSun,
I can run 3-4-3-7 with SPD set manually with PAT=normal(Disable) and read the same on CPUZ using Bios 3.6, are you always get 3-4-4-8 wiht SPD setting manually?
I dont have this problem with FSB above 250 mHz (testing with CC I can reach FSB 261 mHz)
On what FSB did you have CAS set to 2.5 on Bios, since even I set it manually on bios with CAS value 2.5 the CPUZ is always read 3 with PAT=normal(disable).
Funny thing with this mobo CAS value always set to 2.5 if I turn PAT=Fast (Fast, Turbo and Ultra Turbo always have the same memory speed using memtest86+) and the bad things is I loose the CAS value 3 in Bios so I need to reflash the bios.
I cannot change the CAS value to 2.5 with this mobo as shown on the following link,
http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.html?i=1867
I would like to try OCZ PC3700 Rev.2 EL Gold Edition which in my opinion working best with this 'P' series regarding DOT and manual OCing as shown in the following link,
http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.html?i=1940
According to OCZ office this DDR is discontinued so I need to find it on the online store and hope can get it.
So finally I think we need to wait for the newer bios of the 'P' series.

Better yet... as there's a lot of "wasted" space w/ too large Month title and empty space surrounding the Month title above and too much space surrounding the month/year slider bar below, how can I minimize these to allow me more usable / valuable calendar "contents" so I don't need to waste so much time clicking "more" just to see the bottom of the truncated third event and find out there are no 4+ events posted that date? i.e. more "user-friendly" presentation?

Why is 8gb only showing total memory of less than 6.5?

why is 8gb only showing total memory of less than 6.5?

Because the difference is due to the operating system taking up most of the diference and the other is how GB is advertised and actually used.

X61s Bios shows 4 gig memory, System Prefs shows only 3....

I've got an X61s, and I just installed two 2 gig SODIMMs of PC2-5300 667 MHz memory..... The Bios shows 4 gig installed, but when I use the System function in the Control Panel, it only shows 3 Gig.... Any clue what's up?
Thanks in advance....

Yes. You're using a 32-bit version of XP or Vista, which can only use up to about 3GB max. Install a 64-bit version if you want to use all 4GB.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

My Macbook 4,1 came with 1 GB of memory. Only 512MB shows up in the activity monitor. I just upgraded the memory to 4 GB. Although 2GB shows up in DIMM0 and DIMM1 it still only says I have 512MB of memory. Can someone help?

Help! my podcast will only show most 25 recent posts

I'm posting video podcasts (created with animoto) of seniors shot at our studio. The blogging program we are using to upload is set to keep all posts up with no limit or date expired. This same program shows that all posts are up. But when I get on iTunes, it only shows the most 25 recent posts. If we add more, the older ones go down. I contacted apple and they suggested this forum. Please help!!

If there are no settings similar to this in the Settings app, then you won't be able to change it.

Why does error 200279 occur at high speeds only?

I am using a VI very much like the one attached here, and as my motor speeds up and the period value decreases, the vi fails, and error 200279 shows up as displayed in the attached 2 jpg images. This VI is reading the period value of an encoder by rising edges. The error does not show up at low speeds, only high speeds. Hardware is wired through USB ports on PC. Using Labview 2012 and Windows 7.
Do I need to specify the samples per channel for the READ in the case structure to eliminate this error? The error only occurs when the period gets quite short, e.g. 9ms or so. At higher period values (slower motor speeds) the error does not appear. I am using the counters built into the cDAQ9174 chassis and the NI 9401 module to read the period values of my encoder. What is happening at high speeds to cause this error? I thought that the setting on the DAQ Timing VI required that 16 periods are read every iteration, so, why is it saying that it is trying to read samples that are no longer available?
Also, is the "Append Array" building up a large array that is being carried in the SHIFT REGISTER and causing things to slow down? There are a huge number of periods occuring with an encoder at 120 ticks/revolution. should I try to keep this array truncated or something to reduce the size of the data being handled for each iteration? Can this large array be causing the 200279 error?
Thanks,
Dave

I think there's a combination of things that could be contributing. I don't have time for a full explanation right now, here's some quick mods I did to the code you posted. Essential changes are:
- made separate loop for collecting data into a big array. (Maybe you can consider dumping to file instead of growing an array in memory?)
- used a queue to transfer data between loops
- increased the buffer size dramatically while still calculating average of only the most recent periods
- reduced the acquisition loop rate -- expect to retrieve more data points per iteration
There are a couple other things I'd probably add or change with more time, but this minimal set of mods should help some.

Read this when your memory speed seems too low

You noticed that your memory is not running at the speed that you expected and you are wondering
why that is. Here is the most likely answer to that.
Many monitoring programs don't show you the double data rate (DDR) of your memory. So, first, multiply your memory frequency by 2 to get the double data rate. For example, when using PC4300 ram, you get a memory frequency of 267MHz, in stead of 533MHz. 266 is only half the speed of 533, so your monitoring program shows single data rate, not double. With PC3200 it goes 200/400MHz, etc.
The second thing you should consider is the following. The combination of certain memory frequencies and CPU-speeds make it impossible for the memory/cpu to run at full data rate specified by the memory manufacturer. I'll take my own system as an example to show what I mean.
- 2 Opterons 2212, running at 2000MHz.
- PC4300 memory installed. Maximum speed is 267 (single data rate) or 533 (double data rate) MHz.
Now, the following happens: To get the right memory clock speed, the cpu speed is divided by a number. In this case, it would be:
2000/266=7.5 .
This outcome is not possible for the CPU. It needs a round (solid) number. In this case the choice is between 7 and 8. However, when using 7, chances are that the system will not run stable, because the outcome is higher than the memory can handle (guarenteed):
2000/7=286MHz (572MHz DDR).
So, the higher numer (8) is chosen, giving this result:
2000/8=250MHz (500MHz DDR).
In my case, CPU-Z reports a data rate of about 250MHz. Note the first remark I made: you need to
multiply by 2, to get the doube data rate (DDR) speed: 500MHz.
If you oc the cpu speed slightly, memory speed will increase a bit as well. Example: when overclocking the cpu to about 2125MHz, the memory will start running at the speed it can handle:
2125/8=266MHz (533MHz DDR).

Does the number of memory chips affect this behavior? I have two 1GB PC3200 chips for my MSI KT8 Neo FISR. When I run each one separately, it registers as 200MHz (DDR400) in memtest86. When run together, they register as 100MHz (DDR200). This alarms me to no end, but it sounds like this is expected, yes? If so, why do they "appear" to run at full speed singly, but half-speed running together? And will the actual speed of the two running together match the speed of one by itself (otherwise, I'll see a performance hit when upgrading from 1GB to 2BG)?
Sorry for the newbie-sounding question, but memory's been over my head since my 72-pin's went out of style
Thank you

Memory speed - Equium A200 PSAF5E

Hi all,
I own a Toshiba Equium A200 - 1V0
Model no. PSAF5E - 001003sp
Bios version updated to v. 2.50
Everest Ultimate 4.5.1330 says that I have 2GB of RAM, in two sticks of Samsumg DDR2-667. Also it says too that my FSB is 133Mhz with correct CPU speed and multipier.
The problem comes with memory speed. It shows DDR2-667 capable sticks and chipset, but DRAM:FSB ratio is set to 8:4 resulting in DDR2-533, in any energy profile. The system operates in dual-channel 128bit configuration, so I'm losing 2144 MB/sec of transfer speed.
The chipset is identified as an Intel Crestline GML GL960, Everest and Toshiba website show it as DDR2-667 capable, Intel website claims about DDR2-533.

Link:[http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/gl960/gl960-overview.htm]
I haven't found any motherboard info or manual, so here are my questions:
- Is this speed normal or may I expect the DDR2-667 mode with this system?
- Is the dual-channel mode decreasing memory speed?
- If I re-install memory modules one by one and changing the position, Could it reset the speed values of the system?
- Can I access to any hidden BIOS settings to tweak the memory? (I have a Medion system that has a hidden and password protected BIOS mode accessible through F11 instead of F2 where I can find lots of options not shown in normal F2 BIOS)
- Any more ideas?
Many thanks in advance. Any help would be much apreciated.

Hi HiperGrover,
As PauPau wrote, the limited FSB is 533 MHz and that means the memory modules will run at this speed. Furthermore DDR2-667 modules can be used properly but they run only with lower speed.
So don be worry about this, everything is ok with your notebook.
Last but not least in BIOS there are no options about tweaking the modules and such options will not bring a strong performance boost but they could make your computer unstable.

Memory Speed (MHz) missing in 'About This Mac'

Hi
I'm using a Macbook Pro with 10.4.9 and all updates and I recently noticed that the memory speed is missing in the 'About This Mac' window.
It's saying: Memory 1GB 0 MHz RAM.
Am I the only one with this problem or is this a bug?

I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!
