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

"rated fsb: 803.9"

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?
