i think i read something the like recently...

The DDR333 chipsets/rams are supposed to run at CAS2.5, while the majority of current DDR266 chipsets can easily be run at CAS2 !

Can anyone confirm that ?

I have a stick of Crucial PC2100. It will not to CAS 2-2-2 at 266MHz. It will only to 2.5-2-2. But it will do 333MHz at CAS 2.5-2-2. Very strange, and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed because I heard so many good things about Crucial. That being said, it is rated for CAS 2.5 and not CAS 2 so I shouldn't complain. And it's running nicely at 333MHz, outscoring PC800 RDRAM in SiSoft:) I am also using a SiS 645 motherboard (MSI 645 Ultra 333).

I have two sticks of Crucial PC2100 and both do run CAS 2-2-2 at 266MHz (haven't tried 333Mhz yet).
My motherboard is an Asus P4S333 (SIS 645 chipset).

I have 2 x 512Mb sticks of Corsair PC2700 (DDR333) XMS RAM running @ 340Mhz, CAS2, 2.5v. Ran 10hrs of looped Memtest 86 with zero errors. Sandra 2002 memory scores are around 2600.

Love it.

I have an ASUS p4S333 running with P4 at 2.2GHz and 3 x 512MB PQI 266. The problem is: I can't set the memory to 3:4. It only runs on 1:1 (100MHz) else I can't startup the system. Some usable solutions ??? Tnx.
