I'd say your processor is holding you back. Just because your mobo can handle doesn't meen your processor can.

brinks is on a distinguished road

Default

PC 3200 = 200 MHz (400 MHz DDR)

DDR Ram is clock-doubled. (Double-Data Rate) If the memory bus clock is going 200 MHz, the memory is going 400 MHz speed.
