I am putting together a computer and using the following

motherboard that supports amd socket 462 and up to 400 mhz front side bus

1gb ddr1 pc 3200 400 mhz ram

amd athlon 3200 (socket 462)

When i boot up the screen says system memory is at 200nhz, and it also shows the processor correctly at amd 3200.

Shouldn't the screen show system memory to be 400mhz?

In the bios I cant go much higher than 200 i think?
 
Because the memory has a Double Data Rate you multiply what the bios tells you by two. 200x2=400 spot on. ;)
