I tried that on mine to but didn't post it because it may not help 
much.  This is the only thing that I see that may help with the 
frequency of the memory:

     *-cpu
          description: CPU
          product: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+
          vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
          physical id: 4
          bus info: cpu@0
          version: 6.10.0
          slot: Socket A
          size: 1833MHz
          capacity: 3GHz
          width: 32 bits
          *clock: 166MHz*
          capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce 
cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 
3dnowext 3dnow ts


Since it says the clock is 166MHz then the memory should be the same.  
Only thing is, my memory has to be 333MHz not 166Mhz.  Basically, 
depending on a few things, that info may not help much unless he has a 
idea what it takes.

My advice, find out the model of the computer if it is factory built or 
the model of the mobo if it is custom built, then go to crucial.com or 
something and look it up that way.  Once you get the info, you can look 
it up at whatever site you choose.

Also, if you have windoze on the rig, some memory sites can look it up 
for you too.  I'm not sure how they do that tho.  I guess they can scan 
something on the mobo.  I dunno.  No windoze here.

Hope that helps.

Dale
