Strangely enough, no, it doesn't. It still shows 533 FSB & 133 Bus Speed (I'm guessing that means my PCI bus speed....just a guess, though). I guess on my system it's just detecting my max, and not my actual.And that utility lists a faster speed now for the FSB?

Hrmm. That's...interesting. If I ever knew that, I had forgotten it. It sounds like you're saying (correct me if I'm wrong here) that I SHOULD see a performance increase if I go to just one speed instead of the two different ones. In my case, taking out the slower 2 sticks, which also happen to be the small ones, while leaving me only 2GB of RAM vice 2.5, should actually increase my performance. It's worth a shot! Especially since that speed difference will be slowing down EVERYTHING on my system, not just PR.Hmm, yes, that makes sense. You'd probably do better with only 200 MHz RAM in there even. It's slowing down because it has to find a common interval for both speeds to run at: 400 MHz (DDR stands for double data rate) / 133 MHz = 4 and 667 MHz / 133 MHz = 5.
I'll probably try it tomorrow, so be sure to say something before then if it's not something I should try
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the link! It tells me I've got 1Mb L2 cache, but only 533MHz FSB...I'm guessing that's why I'm running so much slowerTry CPU-Z, and google or post the chipset it lists.
