Hi,
I need some advice. I purchased originally Corsair twin XMS 3200 2x256 ram
With Platinum silver heat spreader. I recently purchased another pair
however this pair has a black heat spreader and although the speed (3200
400mhz) is the same for both pairs the CAS Latency is different. The silver
Platinum is 2-3-3-6 and the Black is 3-3-3-8. The problem is that when used
together the bios says I am running at 266mhz instead of 400 which is what
it said before I added the second pair. The system runs fine but I am
wondering what if any impact or Significance the 266mhz is? Any way to force
the 400? They both should run at 400mhz. Thanks

Rams funny somtimes, you sure both are 400mhz ?
