why is no one speaking of systems with DDR 2100 and new Athlons to use it?

I am hearing that there is a heavy drive to make the DDR chips as a standard but no one speaks of the new motherboards and the new athlons to take advantage of the DDR. and no one is making Motherboards with a mixture of both sdram and ddr so that we can take advantage of now and later good prices.

AFAIK DDR 2100 is non-existent outside of OEM channels. The only manufacturer I'm aware of that's making DDR availble is Micron, and that's DDR 1600.

I got the 1.1 Rev of the Iwill KA-266R. It is ROCK STABLE at 142 MHz and stable at 146 MHz until you start with things like UT and 3D Mark. My processor maxes at 1.03 GHz, so I keep the system at 137 MHz, 1.8 Vcore and 7.5 X just to keep the wear down on the other components. This board just keeps going and going...

I've got Crucial PC-2100 RAM running at Ultra2/CAS2 with no issues.

The RAID is great; no problems at all.

Onboard sound if fine; I never bothered installing the SBLive X-gamer.

Some folks have reported Win9X registry problems. I'm running Win2K SP1 and have seen no problems.

I have the original release BIOS which doesn't allow Vcore changes, but the newly released boards have a new BIOS which allows. Hopefully, when Iwill posts this BIOS I will be able to use it.

Yeah, the ALi chip is slower in all the benchmark testing, but I've never seen an initial release board be so stable. You want stability and some overclocking, get this board. You want to constantly tinker, then don't. I'm already "bored" since things are so stable!
