Reply: (edit)now you're saying slot 2 is running at 166MHz (333), not 133MHz (266). Anyhow, I still don't think it's possible. Could be a glitch in your diagnostic software ASUS A7N8X-X

Reply: (edit)I have tried moving the module to different slots, I have come to the conclusion that they sold me underclocked RAM. I am going to return it. When I do, i will tell you if that solved my problem or not.
