Is my RAM underclocked??

[Concordia]

Hi all well I just started wondering if my RAM was underclocked because I could have sworn i read somewhere that PC2100 Ram is clocked at 266mhz??

Here my system specs...

Motherboard: Epox 8KHA+
Memory: Crucial 256mb PC2100
Processor: AMD Athlon 1.33 ghz FSB 266

Well here it goes, when I start up my computer I see this....

Main Processor: AMD Athlon 1333mhz (133x10.0), FSB 266
Memory Testing: 262144k OK, DRAM CLK: 133 MHz Type: PC2100 (Should the DRAM CLK be 266 MHz??)

If my RAM is underclocked and the DRAM CLK should be something else could someone please tell me how to change it to the right speed (not overclocked). I really know nothing about the BIOS and am a little afraid to make changes in there so if someone could explain what to change I'd love it.

Oh and finally why is that I only sometime see the lines "Main Processor: XXX, Memory Testing: XXX, and DRAM CLK: XXX". I usually see this about 1 out of every 10 times I restart my computer or I see it after exiting the BIOS without saving my changes, anyone have a clue why this is?


Thank You all in advance have a great day =)

My PC2100 DDR is also at 133 MHZ. The mobo is recognizing the ram as PC2100 so you should be good to go.

133Mhz is right for FSB 266
166Mhz for 333Mhz FSB processors
it's alright PC-2100 is 133Mhz x 2

133 is really the speed ath 266 DDR RAM runs at. It's just one of those marketing-compared-to-actual things.

Your RAM runs at 133, transferring 2x per (hence double data rate (DDR)), for an effective 266.
