Help, ram not running at ddr400.

[Hyper71]

First off for specs:
Ak89 Max (newest bios)
64 3700
PDP Xbl pc-3200
Antec 400w Psu

My mobo ram speed is only ddr333 and down. I have ram that suppose to run at 400, but my mobo is setting it down to 333. Ive tried auto settings which still runs it at 333. My mobo knows its ddr 400, because when it in post It will show ram speed, voltages, etc. It will state:
Ram speed DDR 400 / 333.
Ive read the manual and the speed highlighted is the speed the ram is currently running.
This is really making me mad, because all of aopens bios make the speed ddr 333. And the old ones dont give me the option of making the timings whatever I want.

maybe is the timings? mines were running 333mhz at 2.5 CAS, I changed CAS to 3, then it goes to 400.

It doesnt go over 333 no matter what i do, its really gay.

Is there an Auto option for the memory? In some BIOS, they don't list DDR400 and Auto is the 1:1 setting.

Also, what slots are your memory in. I noticed when I put my memory in slots 2 & 3 on my VNF3-250 memory would run at a 1:2 ratio. Try different slots and see if that'll let you run 1:1.

There is an auto option but still makes it run at dd333. It does the same on slot 2&3. Im about to try 1&3. I doubt that will work. Stuipd bios, stuipd aopen.

I found the bios sites with all the updates and stuff. From 1.07 and up the memory is clocked to ddr 333.

Here the link:

and heres a picture to show. But thats messed up, just relized that im in slots 2&3.

Edit:
I tried slots 1&3 and the same deal. this is really ****ing me off. I have pc-3200 running at pc-2700

Got it working, I had to use a older bios. Bios 1.07 and up, made ddr 400 in 2 slots run 333 instead of 400. I pm'd john_spit010, he helped me out a lot. Got me on the right track. And thanks for the help as well who posted.
