I am relatively inexperienced with adjusting memory timing. I am running a 3e ghz prescott and 2 gigabytes of kingston ddr333 memory. I have ran some benchmark tests with sis sandra program and it said my fsb speed is too high for my memory. can anyone tell me what i can do adjust the memory so i dont get this warning?

No, you don't adjust it. You're supposed to run DDR400 RAM with that CPU. Any attempt to make the RAM you have run the right speed for the CPU will mean a drastic overclock for your RAM, from 166MHz (DDR333) to 200MHz (DDR400), a 20% RAM overclock.

And your board might not even support manual adjustment. But if it did, using the higher setting could cause severe problems, including "no boot" or stability issues.
