all right, I've got some people saying KT133A supports the 266 mhz front side bus. I've got other people saying there are only three motherboards that can run at 133 with ddr 2100...and they use amd 760. AAGH!! Too confusing!

Does KT133A support DDR-SDRAM? Does it support PC2100 SDRAM? Does it run natively in 133 Mhz? Do only some of that chipset run in 133, like the asus a7v133?

Is there any reason to prefer an AMD 760 motherboard over KT133A?

My goal is this: I want to use a k7 palamino at 133 Mhz. I want the FSB to be 133 Mhz. I want to use PC2100 DDR SDRAM. I really like the asus and abit solutions. I'm quite pleased with my current Abit KA7-100...but no so much with VIA's drivers (such as the mildly faulty AGP driver).

So....what's up?

The boards like the abit kt7a and asus i dont think they support the ddr ram. ddr ram is 184 pins while regular pc133 ram is like 168. someone tell me if im wrong? I dont think the DDR will fit into anyt boards right now from my knowlege..just get pc133 for now. its dirt cheap at www.crucial.com I ordered 2, 256 sticks for like 90 bux a piece! :)
