I haven't tried it, but I suspect if you tell it to use them as DDR400, it will either automatically pick slower timins for CAS and such, so it will at best be rather slow DDR400 memory, or you have to make it use slower timings to make it work. I have used PC100 CAS 2 memory as PC133 CAS 3

Ok, I'm curious here. I've got 2x512 sticks of corsair memory for my opteron, and unfortunately they are PC2700 and not PC3200. (Thinking the max FSB was only 333 when I first purchased this system 2+ years ago.) What I'm wondering is; has anyone ever tried overclocking memory

wondering is; has anyone ever tried overclocking memory on their opterons? Is it fesable? Stability issues? - although thats why I mentioned they were corsair sicks, don't know if that would make a difference or not. In theory I'd like to be able to run them at 3200, but I have no clue

Hm, unless I'm just used to being able to manually set 200mhz it would appear that I can adjust any and every setting EXCEPT this. I can only limit the frequency...what sense does that make. So right now I'm locked in at 166 it would appear with about 15+ options that I can vary on the
