VC133 ???

[FeNiX]

I am looking for new RAM and I came across VC133 ram...I am wondering what boards do they work with...I have abit kt7...also how are these VC133 compared to PC133 rams....say VC133 vs a Corsair PC133 performence wise and stability wise???

Virtual Channel memory is exclusively for KT133 boards so your ABIT KT7 will support VC memory. I heard on other boards that VC memory cannot or has no effect using 4-way interleave, a option in the KT7 Bios that would make a pretty big difference in memory performance. Since SDRAM is so cheap now a days and supported in newer KT133A boards, I would just invest in SDRAM.

So this VC133 memory won't work in KT133A mobos???? Do you have any links on the subject??? I haven't heard of it, but it sounds interesting. This memory does seem to work fine in other non-kt133 mobos???

Thanks for the info, looks like cool technology, but doesn't look like the performance boost is there. oh well, it would have been nice.

Most current VIA boards (whether P6 or K7) are VC133 compatible.
