BIOS reports incorrect speed of RAM

J

Instead of PC2 5400, BIOS recognizes it as 4200. A hard drive from an
earlier build with the same motherboard is being used in this system
but it should not affect what is displayed in the BIOS. I removed the
battery and repositioned the jumper cap to clear system parameters but
after rebooting the system still does not acknowledge faster RAM.
Will this affect the performance of my latest build?


INTEL P4 630
ANTEC TPII-430ATX RTL -
Asus P5WD2 Premium
CORSAIR XMS2 DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 675 (PC2 5400)

IIRC, the Intel 955X chipset supports DDR2 800/ 667/ 533 RAM (PC2 6400,
5300, 4200) and *not* 675 PC2 5400.
