You should probably ask your motherboard manufacturer.

On the RAM module there is an SPD chip which contains info about the RAM and its rated speed. If it is running according to SPD it should be running at what the RAM is rated for. Though it is possible that the BIOS has a bug and is setting it up wrong.
Technically the RAM is running at 266MHz, but it being DDR (Double Data Rate) makes it as if it was running at 533MHz. So the question is if it is running at 533MHz (actually 266MHz) or 266MHz (actually 133MHz) This post has been edited by Mr Alpha: Aug 22 2006, 08:31 AM -------------------- "Anyone who cannot form a community with others, or who does not need to because he is self-sufficient [...] is either a beast or a god."
