I was laughing at what Kyle said about this review on HardOCP...

Here is a Review of some "PC166" SDRam. Wow, they actually use it all the way up to a 150MHz bus and write a review on. Gold award goes to VRZone for thoroughness in testing!

"I couldn't test how high the FSB this TwinMOS PC-166 SDRAM can sustain. This would require a i815E chipset with Pentium III EB CPU which i don't have currently. However, feedbacks from Taiwan that this RAM can successfully hit 200Mhz FSB at 3-3-3. If you happen to own this RAM, pls try and let me know."

We have a review of the new 1.5GHz TBird coming out next week, but due to shortcomings on our part it will only be benchmarked at 1.3GHz. Thanks you for your support.

I just placed an order for this...My KK266 is currently running 162 FSB cas3 using Kingmax PC150. The site I bought it from Shentech has 128 MB for $39.99.

In the review it was $ 61.00 - it's the same 6 ns RAM, but prices have fallen through the floor on all RAM.

If anyone is interested in how it performs, email me. The new KK266 BIOS allows for overclocking up to 400 MHz DDR - 200 MHz fsb, so there is some room to overclock. :D

Prolly beingm, the AGP/PCI dividers are 1/3 and 1/4 of system bus at these speeds - Perif hell to say the least.

One guy, JackieO of Fullon3D fame has posted WCPUID @ 400 DDR. He says no periphs will work, but Radeon card (I assume Radeon, as that's what he uses). Cool to look at but not very functional. :D
