RAM Issues
I have 2 sticks of Muskin PC3200 RAM, fitted in slots 1 & 3. I go into the BIOS and advanced chipset settings and it tells me, at 100% that the Memory Frequency is 166mhz, and at By SPD it's at 200mhz, this doesn't seem right to me. What should it be? My mobo is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe, BIOS version 1.5.

166mhz (100%) is what you want...

200 MHz is perfectly right for PC3200 RAM. Remember that 200 MHz DDR does not equal 400 MHz, that's just an idea from the marketing airheads.

God now I'm confused, how do I know if DDR is enabled or not?

You don't have to enable it...it is enabled.

You want to run the ram at 166mhz (100%) because that's your CPU's bus setting. You can run the memory at anywhere over 166mhz, but that's not recommended.
