That's why I use 165. :) It also happened at 133, and at 133 with a
different mobo and CPU, and at 100 with the same different mobo and CPU (K7S5A and
Palomino 2000+.

I suspect it tries to determine timings by itself, and uses the 133MHz time
with 165, but has no idea how to handle 166. DDR333 didn't exist when I bought
the memory

I know some boards were "We certify it as three slots usable with PC2100, but
only two with 2700." (ECS K7S6A)
