(If your CPU is running at 266Mhz > FSB... there no point in setting your RAM to run at 333Mhz.) I am not sure how to find out the details of the core. It is Athlon XP 2400+ as per cat /proc/cpuinfo. I think cpu runs at 266 as setting accepts 133 as base and multiples are auto. Memory though is 333, it set at auto. memtest indicates no error in two runs.
