To get DDR333 you need to have 2 things setup correctly. 1) The FSB has to be either 166MHz, 133MHz, or 125Mhz. 2) If the FSB is 166Mhz then the memory ratio is 1:1 with the FSB. With a 133Mhz FSB it is 5:4 and with 125Mhz it is 4:3. On the 4G4A to get the 5:4 ratio you need to set the jumper on the motherboard for 133Mhz.

Most 845G motherboards have issues when running > 1 stick of ram and oc'ing. I've seen it personally with my 4g4a and also an 8igx. and have heard many other horror stories.

Also, a lot of 845g boards right now have issues when using 3:4 or 4:5 ram ratios with the intel INF's and vid drivers at generally around 150fsb or so.
