Hi Guyz!

I am the owner of a Asus P5W DH Deluxe and a pair of g.skill 6400 with a timing of 4-4-4-12.

Now my issue is that during post my pc tells me that I have a memory with only 5400.

I have looked a bit through the bios but can't seem to find the right setting.

I think I have found the setting to change the timing which I have changed to 4-4-4-12.

Can someone please advise how to change the speed of the memory to 6400.

Thanks in advance.

PC2-6400 is the same speed as DDR2-800, which uses a 400MHz clock frequency. Different MBs use different menus to set up memory speed, so you may also want to check with Asus support.
The other thing to remember is that your RAM is only guaranteed to run at 4-4-4-12 timings under a specific voltage, usually higher than the standard 1.8V. Since you are running it at 1.8V now, you will need to run memtest86+ for many hours to make sure the RAM is stable once you get it running at DDR2-800, or you will need to increase the memory voltage to the level specified by g.skill. Either the RAM packaging, the g.skill website, or their tech support can tell you the memory voltage needed.
