      Yes if ya plannin' on a good decent mobo then leave the SDRAM on the shelf as it only strangles those CPU's, a DDR based mobo is the go and an nForce2 mobo is the way to go.

          ASUS A7V266 will work I think. Just double check on the t-bird. probably pick one up for $40US on eBay.

              I had an a7v266 and it used sdram if I'm not mistaken.

                I though that sdram was 168 pin with two notches in the slot and ddr sdram was 184 pin with 1 slot?

                how do it fit?

                  Nevermind. My board wasn't the KT266 chipset because that IS ddr only. Not sure what it was in that case, but it definitely was an asus.

                    granted the kt266 chipset will support pc/ddr sdram its the ram sockets that wont work.

                      The ALi Magik and SiS 745 are the only two chipsets that I've seen for AMD K7 systems that actively support either memory but neither are what I'd call power systems and both have their own querks to which I recommend ppl stay away from if possible.

                        so wiggo what would you use? if you wanted to use the sdram with the 1800+ pali.

                        I know that ill be killing the speed with the sdram but right now im not in the position to buy very much. i have to have a new mobo 'cause my ga-7zxr crapped out on me and i dont know yet if gigabye is going to fix it. and right now i'm a little tired of chasing technology, it gets a little two pricey.

                        thanks
                        night

                        p.s. when i get to buy more i'll just put this stuff into my sons rig.

                          unless you buy something that uses that memory, at a different cost...........

                            It has both types of mem sockets
