If your CPU runs at 533MHz FSB (133MHz), your RAM should run at DDR333 speed (166MHz).

OK, since you have an 800MHz FSB CPU, you are correct about the RAM speed...it should be increased to DDR400. I don't know what would have caused it to run as DDR333. I'm sure you have more than one stick of RAM, are you sure they're all DDR400?
