This is the new system I built for one of my friends;

Pentium 4 (640) 3.2GHz
Thermaltake silent Tower CPU cooler - this
Foxconn 925XE7AA-8EKRS2 (from here )
PQI DDR2-533 (512 x 2) - this one
Albatron PC6600Q (Geforce 6600) 256MB PCI-EX - this one
CoolMax 450W PSU - this one
Two SATA-150 HDD's (one 80GB and one 120GB)
NEC DVD RW

Now, the problem is the CPU runs slower than what it should be (as shown below).

The listed RAM timing is 3-3-3-8 and I am getting 4-4-4-12. Is this good or bad?

The system works without a problem (Prime95 for about 2hr went OK). No heating problems, either. Runs with latest BIOS (flashed just after finished building).

BTW: I don't want to overclock this system,
 
what do you mean saying " the CPU runs slower than what it should be"? it doesn't feel like 3.20 GHz CPU or what? run sisoft sandra bench.. as for the timings - you can try forcing 3-3-3-8..

It is 3.2GHz and I am getting 2.8GHz according to CPU-Z.
