Table 2 Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization

This motherboard supports different memory frequencies depending on the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus) and the type of DDR DIMM.

CPU FSBDDR DIMM TypeMemory Frequency

800 MHz

PC3200/PC2700*/PC2100

400/333*/266 MHz

533 MHz

PC2700/PC2100

333/266 MHz

400 MHz

PC2100

266 MHz

 

 

 

*When using 800MHz CPU FSB, PC2700 DDR DIMMs may run only at 320MHz (not 333MHz) due to chipset limitation.
