125MHz is very low, thats PC2000. PC3200 is 200MHz, PC4000 is 250MHz. I
really doubt that the speed is 125MHz, I would have expected 166MHz which
is PC2700 and is the standard speed for a system with 4 double sided
DIMMs. The best way to find out the speed is to watch the BIOS screen
during a boot, the speed will probably be displayed.

Thanks very much for enlightening me!
I have it running at 166 MHz with manual settings, but (as you predicted) it
doesn't want to go higher.
I have a second PC (A8N-E equipped) with two 1 Gig modules running the
memory happily at 200 MHz.
Is the speed reduction a limitation of my, now elderly, Winchester CPU ? If
so, do newer cores allow for "full speed"?
