What is your memory frequency ?

I notice that my 9300 mem freq is only 100Mhz. I assumed that it should be 133Mhz.

What is your mem freq ?
My cpu is 735 1.7 pinmodded to 2.26. BIOS ver is A04. 2 RAM sticks are Transcend DDR2 PC2-4200 from Newegg.
The program in the screenshot is PCWizard v1.65

It's probably actually 533. Check the BIOS and report back. Several programs will still show you having a 1.7Ghz processor as well.

The program may see a 400fsb cpu, and therefore the ram would be running at 400 as well.

Or it could be that since it is a mobility processor and its main interest is in saving battery power, it prob downclocks the fsb to a lower number...so maybe if you go into powe options and select an option thats called....well I dont remember what its called but something like 'Run Always'...I think in that mode, the OS overrides the battery saving features of the proc adn you always get full clock. So that could be it. Hope that helps.

If you can, please re-run cpu-z and give me some number (BIOS ver, CPU type, RAM type).

I set RMclock to max multi when taking screenshot. I believe that intel 915 can't automatically lower ram speed.

Its suppose to be 533Mhz, the FSB is 133Mhz, intel processors have a quad-pumped FSB so the actual FSB is 133.3Mhz, but the functional FSB is 533.
PC2-4300 is 533Mhz RAM.

Enhanced speedstep downlocks the multiplier, not the FSB as far as I'm aware.

To the original poster, try cpu-z, I'd trust its results more.

That's just a screw up. The memory is hard locked to run at 266MHz (533 effective). Again, try CPU-Z.
