RAM Timings Problem!

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my PC2100 SDRAM.
    The FSB is overclocked from 133Mhz to 145Mhz (multiplier locked :-( )
    The RAM Bus should be at 145Mhz. Instead, it is at 108.75Mhz.
    The default timings for 133Mhz are 2.5-3-3-6.
    At first, the timings somehow got to 2.5-3-3-7, and the BIOS settings indicated it was 2.5-3-3-6.
    After a restart, and verifying the BIOS settings, the timings were correct; but the default timings for one DIMM mysteriously changed to 2.5-3-9-6.
    Any ideas what happened?

    Update: The timings seem to be fine, but the memory bus speed is still 108.75Mhz instead of 145Mhz.

    P.S.:I also would like to know what PLL does ASUS P4B533 have (for ClockGen)

    Issue resolved. Changed BIOS setting FSB:Memory Ratio from Auto to 1:1
