So will PC2700 work in existing motherboards?

[Scouzer]

I did a search and found a brief thread that said the ECS K7S5A could do 133FSB/166MEM. But will PC2700 be like the Tualatin and need new tech to go on previous boards, or just fine?

EDIT: Can boards like the Epox 8K7A, 8KHA etc. do the same things the K7S5A can?

PC2700 = DDR333 or whatever you wish to call it. Current modules are capable of it, and boards can handle it just fine. I'm currently running a 333MHz FSB (effective) on 8K7A without a hitch, using cheap as sin Crucial PC2100 modules. Just give them a bit more voltage and you're good to go. Yields are improving and I suspect we'll see "official" PC2700 modules in the very near future. FWIW, I've not yet achieved 166MHz FSB using K7S5A. I suspect the problem is that voltage adjustment isn't possible for the DDR modules with this board. 150MHz (PC2400) is perfectly achievable, however.

It is the same as PC2100, except for clock speed. It'll work in current mobo's except it'll run at PC2100 speeds
