"Ken Bouchard" <kbouchard@adelphia.net> wrote Funny, my Soyo SY-K7VTA PRO motherboard boasts a VIA KT133A chipset. This chipset supposedly has a FSB speed of 266 MHZ and the manual says it will handle DDR memory, yet they recommend PC100/133 SDRAM. Well, that would be ok for a 133 MHZ bus but THIS bus is 266 MHZ (I have an Athlon XP 1700+ so it's jumpered that way), shouldn't they be telling me to install PC266 DDRAM?

the fsb works the same way as the ddr ram does. it sends on both the up and
the down part of the clock signal. Runs at 133, sends data at an effective
266.
