Dan: "So sandra says my RAM is faster than its theoretical bandwith. So it's likely rigged for p4, but definitely messed up."

Can you explain his calculation?

[5/4*(FSB in Hz)*2*(width in bytes)=Bandwdith in bytes per second]/1024^2=bandwidth in mbytes/second

Looking at the numbers as I would do them:

FSB bandwidth: 533MHz * 64 bits = 4264MB/s
Memory bandwidth: 333MHz * 64 bits = 2664MB/s

Reported bandwidth: 2575 MB/s ALU, 2589MB/s FPU

And the problem is?
