it is normal we have to multipy it with 2 to get the final freq...

333 x 2 = 666 mhz

Anyone heard of or using iiyama monitors ?? i picked up a 19" flat CRT (3 yr old) for 3k. It has terrific features & a refresh rate upto 175 Hertz. Guess it is for some professional use.

dceite : I've been buying my systems from SMC for the last couple of years (4 so far) - they probably know me as the guy who keeps blowing up his graphics cards - I initially bought a 6800GT - died twice - paid 1500 to Rashi Peripherals to upgrade to a 7800GT which proceeded to commit hara kiri as well - then finally paid 2000 to upgrade to a 7900GT - this time i threw out my ExtremePower 450 SMPS and got a 600W one - hope this holds out as I've become quite sick of this - even the guys at Rashi know me well now

Before that I used to get some stuff from abroad and buy some stuff from Fundura but they didn't have the latest stuff available usually.

lbm as far i know ddr2 comes with twice the speed of ddr and it should naturally show 667 as dceite said but there is nothing to worry about because if it was ddr333 it would not run on the motherboard in the first place .Vaise dceite why don't you install the 2*512 in dual channel mode
as that would make it 667*2
