DDR333 may not be much slower than DDR400, but DDR333 would be running async from the CPU while DDR400 would run synced with the cpu as far as I know, but it may not apply with the onchip memory controller (it may run it synced to the cpu just fine even at 333). Certainly on the athlon's with the memory controller in the chipset, you wanted memory running at the same speed as the cpu bus (so DDR333 was better than DDR400 for all but the top end barton's). But it might not be the case for the athlon 64, although if you can get it running at DDR400 it would be nice I guess. How much ram do you have installed and what size are the modules?
