    Compaq C700/C751NR memory slow

    My C751NR T2330 started running pretty slow recently and when I check memory bandwidth with Sandra, I get an abysmal 2700 MB/s. Heck, even my tired old Sempron with SIS760 gets 1800 MB/s! Shouldn't the PM965 with PC5300 get at least double the old SIS and PC2700?

    I tried searching the BIOS for any setting and didn't see any. I see a lot of references in Sandra to 133 MHz FSB speeds, but the CPU shows 1.6 GHz. I have mismatched SODIMM sizes, but it's always been that way.

    Thanks for any insight.
