It would be nice if all the modules would properly report information, but it seems like it depends on who manufactured the module, and what information they chose to include. Sometimes I thing it is because they do not rate the memory speed until the module is built, and they run tests on samples from the batch to see what speed they can properly handle, and don't go back and program that info into the module. Also, some modules are "backward compatible" and support slower speeds as well as their rated speed. (pc3200, pc2700, pc2100 for example.) SO the module can not report the speed, and if the BIOS does not report the speed the module is running at, you are out of luck.
