What's your motherboard? Did you upgrade (add memory)? What memory had you installed (if any) before the upgrade?

its a P4 3.2g processor i had 512mb memory before and i upgraded that with 2 1gig sticks today but it was 400mhz on ebuyer and on BIOS it said 333 and i cant see much of a difference in speed with 1.5gig more memory

Do you know the model/make of your motherboard/systemboard?

DDR-333 166 MHz 6 ns 166 MHz 333Mhz 2.5v +/- 0.2v PC-2700 2700 MB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte)/s
DDR-400 200 MHz 5 ns 200 MHz 400Mhz 2.6v +/- 0.1v PC-3200 3200 MB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte)/s

What was the memory speed noted in the BIOS with the previous 512Mb stick?

not sure what it was but the old memory was 3200 400mhz 2.6v the new one says all same stuff on ebuyer but came up as 333 on RAM

the new RAM on BIOS says 166mhz DDR333 i ordered this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/92005 which says DDR 400Mhz is it wrong RAM or can my comp not support this???
