What MoBo can take DDR433 and above

[samgorney101]

Hey,

I am just wondering what boards can accept the DDR433 and DDR500 spec memory. All the AMD and Intel boards say that they can go up to DDR400. How do I use the higher spec'd RAM if that is all it is capable of doing?

For OCing your FSB past 200/400.

When doing so, one of three things can/will hold you back:
I) cpu
2) ram
3) chipset

I think these models are just ddr400/pc3200 that is proven to OC, so they just rebadge them and sell at higher prices.

any motherboard that takes DDR can run those speeds, the only they say they will accept 400MHz RAM is because that's their official max speed. but overclocking past that is the only reason you need faster than 400MHz RAM anyways.
