845G and DDR333 Question

[MacKenzieIII]

Ok, yesterday I got a 845G Motherboard.

And I had understood (from reading Toms Hardware) that these motherboards (unlike the 845Es) could do a FSB of 133 while doing DDR333.

But when I go to mine, I only have 2 options either 2x or 2.66. This means at fsb of 133 I get either run the DDR at 266 (2xFSB) or at 353 (2.66xFSB).

Now I must admit the motherboard I got was from the totaly new and untried Albatron PX845G Pro II. But I had though that the ability to do FSB 133 and DDR at 333 was common thru out all 845G motherboards. Is this wrong? Has anyone else had problems getting DDR333 at FSB133 with an 845G motherboard?

DDR333 support is unofficial, and it's totally up to the manufacturer how or if they implement it.

I know it is unofficial. But has anyone else had a 845G motherboard that would not do the 2.50x (133FSB/333DDR)?

I tried to find an answer and the only thing I found was at OcPrices.com. They were able to get 2.5X. Take a look at the link and set your BIOS like they did and see if you can get it. One other thing to try is set your DDR:CPU Ratio to AUTO, on my BG7 auto will give me DDR333 if the FSB is 133 or higher. You might want to contact the Ben the author and ask how he did it.
