I have to set the ram at 266 even though it is 333 I am using a xp1800 cpu
running at default is this right.

 

IT is not necessarily the board's fault for the RAM speed not being able to
run where the memory is rated. Kingston Value RAM, and some others, are
often not capable of running at their advertised speeds. It seems that
conditions have to be perfect for this to happen. I have seen this problem
with several brands of boards. AOpen has a web page of tested modules with
their board here:

I almost always use either Crucial or Mushkin brand memory with the AOpen
boards, and have yet to have the memory not run at the rated speed. Not
saying that the board isn't the culprit, but it could also be the memory.

I forgot to mention I did indeed change the RAM module, but no luck. I sent
the board back... Here's hoping, although I have good experiences with Aopen
(holland) in replacing boards.

 

Here in the States, they are very good about replacing boards. I've had 2
replaced now, out of probably 300 or so boards of theirs that I have used
for myself or my customers. Hopefully the situation is the same there.

Good luck
