PCI2100 = 2100 MB/sec data rate at 133Mhz FSB
PCI2400 = 2400 MB/sec data rate at 166Mhz FSB
PCI2700 = 2700 MB/sec data rate at 200Mhz FSB

Need MoBo with a 1/5 FSB divider to run PCI2400 memory at its rating and keep the PCI bus in spec, 1/6 MoBo divider for PCI2700. Waiting for an Iwill board to be released, with the 1/6 divider, in a couple days. Where is the PCI2700 memory?

eGAK you are close but there are a couple of flaws...
PC1600 = 1600 MB/sec data rate at 100MHz FSB
PC2100 = 2100 MB/sec data rate at 133MHz FSB
PC2400 = 2400 MB/sec data rate at 150MHz FSB
PC2700 = 2700 MB/sec data rate at 166MHz FSB
PC3200 = 3200 MB/sec data rate at 200MHz FSB (theoretically just to show you how you were wrong... because running at 200 is the same as twice of running at 100 i.e. --- PC1600 to the theoretical PC3200)

whoops i forgot one more thing PC2700 would need the 1/5 PCI divider becuz 166MHz / 5 = 33MHz (PCI bus speed)
other than that i think everything is correct (fixing a few minor errors you made w/ MHz (Mhz) and PC2100 etc (PCI2100???))

Thanks for the clarification, hate spreading misinformation. Missed a few shifts, trying to accelerate the FSB. Appreciate the help, with my understanding the DDR ratings.
