    All,

    I've loaded my memory into another computer where the SPD could be read/written (non x64 OS) and I've tried to set the SPD on the Nanya modules to 6-5-4 to 400Mhz. I also copied the config of a DDR2-800 Nanya module that exactly matches the part number of what's installed in our system, but after clicking write, I reboot and have the same memory timings..

    Has anyone gotten this on the stock memory?

    Your memory probably has WP (write protection) enabled on the EEPROM.

    You could try to connect the WP pin to GND to disable WP.
    I tried it but it didn't work.

    you tried it on the nanya, or other similar ram?

    which pin on a ddr200 SODIMM is the WP ?
