DDR Disappointing! Help!

I have two computers that I built. One uses an ASUS A7V133 mb with 256megs of 133mhz SDR memory and a 1.3ghz AMD Athlon FSB200 CPU. The other is an ASUS A7A266 with 512meg of PC2100 DDR memory and a 1.4ghz AMD Athlon FSB266 CPU. I expected the memory in the DDR board to be faster than the SDR board. However, when I run Wintune, the 133mhz SDR memory runs at 3,292mb/sec, while the 266mhz DDR memory runs at 2,252mb/sec. What gives? I have checked all of my bios settings per Tom's Hardware guide and no other programs are running in the background during the test. Am I using an unreliable test? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

I don't understand these numbers! They sound more like internal cache speed rather than system RAM speed. Run Sisoft Sandra's memory benchmark and post your results here.
