Abit BD7II and ddr333

fede78 · 05-29-2002, 03:23 PM

I'm ready to buy a new motherboard, I think Abit BD7II is the board for me but haven't support for DDR333.
If I set FSB to 166 or higher the RAM work at this speed?
If I use FIX PCI speed all PCI card work on rated speed even the FSB is over the spec?
It's ok or I make some mistakes?

Thank you.

you can set it to 100:133 ratio, which can run at any fsb. so at 133 you can have 177mhz memory speed. The other option is 100:100

If you fix pci, it will fix pci speed at 33mhz. But in most cases this leads to poor performance, you're better to choose your pci cards carefully and run at /4 divider if possible. Look for pci cards with the second notch in them at the front, for 66mhz operation. even at 48mhz pci speed, they'll hardly be pushed
