Memory question for Abit IT7

[BoKingWen]

Does the Abit IT7 support DDR 333 (PC2700), I checked Abit's website it didn't state that it support DDR 333.

anyone?

Not officially, but you can easily overclock to 333+ speeds.

Does this mean with the future bios update, the mobo will offically support DDR333?

Won't happen in a bios update, its an inherant absence in the 845e and 845g chipsets. Intel is going to release a new minor variation on these chipsets in the fall that officially support DDR 333. There are one or two chipset makers who use the Intel chipset who do support DDR333 *but* they are making modifications out of spec. Doesn't hurt things really but I doubt you'll see support in a simple Bios update.

That said, you can still hit DDR 33 rates no problem. If you are running a 533mhz chip(aka 133 fsb) just get good quality memory like Official Samsung ram over at newegg and run the ram in 3:4 mode. That gives you DDR 354. If you are running a Northwood 100mz FSB bus chip you should be able to OC it to 133FSB without any major problems then wash rinse and repeat as above.

Thanks I guess I will had to wait for a while, I want to get a mobo from Abit or ASUS that support DDR333 and the new P4 chip the 533mhz. I think Asus had one like that but I dont like the stuff that comes with it onboard video, sound and lan.

Oh well.......

tell me about it. onboard audio only helps when u wanna get rid of ur board. u don't hafta give up ur sound card. but other than that i hate onboard sound. it sounds like a 2 tin cans and some string...
