	That is 3200. DDR = Dual Data Rate On that pull down that shows 1600 in AMD CBS, look and tell me if you see a 3200. Nope. Not there. Not there because that "speed' is half what it is running at. You Main tab show it running at 3200.

	Just to add to what Wardog points out: DDR stands for " Double Data Rate"

	Yup, you are running at 3200. The base frequency is 1600 which is multiplied by 2 to give you 3200 operating frequency. DDR3 1600 runs at 800 base x2 and so on and so forth. Nothing wrong there at all
