Memory running at correct speed?

[David]

Hi

I've got two 256MB DDR266 PC2100 running in Dual Channel. When the first
screen appears after I've switched the PC on, it states that the memory is
running at 133Mhz with Dual Channel.

Does this mean that the memory is only running at half its speed and if so,
which settings do I need to change? My Mobo is an A7N8X Deluxe and my CPU is
an AMD ATHLON XP1900 266Mhz 256cache CPU - Palomino.

Thanks for your attention and help you can give me.

no the mem is at the right speed...that is why it is called DDR..133
translates to 266 FSB.

PC2100 = 133MHz.

PCxxxx / DDR / MHz
PC1600 / 200 / 100
PC2100 / 266 / 133
PC2400 / 300 / 150
PC2700 / 333 / 166
PC3000 / 366 / 183
PC3200 / 400 / 200
PC3500 / 433 / 216
PC3700 / 466 / 233
PC4000 / 500 / 250
PC4200 / 533 / 266
PC4400 / 550 / 275

That is what it should say Dave, your ram is running at the correct
speed. The memory is accessed twice per clock cycle so double the 133
and it is running at 266.
