can anyone tell me wht could be wrong
or is there any software to check the ram speed

i have a transcend 2gb ddr2 jetram 800mhz(single chip)
model no:(jm800qlu-2g)

my motherboard is abit ip35-e
:huh:
 
download CPU-Z to check your cpu and ram speeds.

what cpu are u running?

u may need to go into bios settings and tweak the fsb:ram divider if u want ur ram to run at a speed higher than ur cpu fsb.
 
i have core2 quad q6600
abit ip35-e
transcend 2gb ddr2 800mhz(signle chip)
i am not able to understand how to use cpu z
for checking ram there's a page spd
these are the following i get in the memory
type:ddr2

size:2048

channel:single

dram fz:408mhz
fsb:dram 2:3
etc
 
^^ that looks right. your ram frequency is already 400 i.e. DDR2-800

your Q6600 stock fsb is 266mhz, so using the 2:3 divider, your ram is indeed running at 400.
