Weird. Possibly your 266 MHz DDRAM is CL2 but your 333 MHz DDRAM is CL3. Also, I have two near-identical systems using 1.2GHz T'bird Athlons in Abit KT7A mobos, with CL2 PC133 memory. The only difference is that one of the CPUs is 200 MHz FSB the other is 266 MHz. Both are running the memory at 133 MHz (the BIOS on the KT7A lets you do this). The system speeds are within 1% of each other.
