Hello

Well you can update your bios and read your mother manual to make
sure that your brd will run at 333fsb, your memory speed should
also support 333fsd, once you set it to 166 then you should be
fine.

I have 400mhz memory so I set my setting in the bios to 200
333fsb set to 166 etc. Just maybe your mother does not support it

It *IS* running at 333MHz. 166x2=? Suggest you learn what Double Data Rate
means. There is no problem, the issue doesn't exist.

166MHz is the correct speed. As all transactions on the bus occurs at both
the rising and the falling edges, it's called DoubleDataRate. In this case
2*166(.666)MHZ = 333Mhz data rate...
