Does anyone know why i wouldn't be able to run 3 sticks of ddr 333 @333? why would the board makers tout being pc2700 compliant but not be able to provide it in all 3 dimm slots? why not just remove the 3rd dimm slot if u can't support your claim? i heard of users using all 3 dimm slots with 333 and getting random memory errors. i talked to soltek and they said that all three dimms can be used and run @333 but the users that told me that it was not possible to be stable are pretty reputable.

also, to add into the equation, cas latency. if u have ddr333 @cas2 i heard that u can't run at cas2 in all 3 dimm slots. ARRRGGGGHHHH! so not only can u run @cas2 but u may also not be able to run @333... can someone clarify on this conundrum??? :confused:

I can't answer your question, but I do know that there are other boards that have/had the same problem. Sometimes the mfgr doesn't get things right before a board is released.

One thought - do you have the latest BIOS?
