As I'm sure you're aware, the ALi Magik is the underdog when compared clock for clock to a KT266A. Being the owner of two Iwill XP333's and one Epox 8KHA+, I can say that confidently.

The bios doesn't let you set much manually, CAS latency really, then there's 6 presets:Failsafe, slow, normal, fast, ultra, and ultra2

Cas 2 normal is the best I can get my 2.5 Micron to run at. It won't even post at 2.5 fast. While on the Epox, I can go Cas2, Turbo, 4way interleave...without using the 3/4 memory divider, so I know this memory is capable. Leaves me hoping that Iwill is figuring out a fix...the 1/5th divider performance is just a bios update away. lol

I don't have any experience with wpcredit, I found it a bit overwhelming actually. I had no idea what I was looking at, trying to do the HALT trick on the 266a. (I run a DC agent, so I don't idle anyway) I know I don't want to start playing with registers...too rich for my blood. One of these days, I'll unlock this processor again, I cleaned it off after I started running at 10.5 again, with plans to redo it later.( I couldn't use any higher multis)
