Title: Need advice about DDR333
Post by: MANDOBLE on June 24, 2002, 08:44:01 AM: Actually using 2 Kignston Valueram PC2700 256MB modules (banks 1 and 2), but not satisfied at all with its performance and stability with FSB 133 and RAM set to 166, rest parameters set to "By SPD".

Any good advice about DDR333 modules for Via KT333 chipset board?

about memory , well i runing high quality 2100 ram at 166 with no problem at all , not a 1 crash in all the history but the real performance up is to set it at CLK 2 !!!!

if u use it at CLK 2.5 is it jsut same like a 133 set speed

go for some extra heat sinks < originaly designed for video card memory > becose all the thing heating realy bad ,and even memory modules goin creazy hot , and i inserted ram modules in slot 1 and 3 do no but seems work beter :)

Do you have your memory set to 166 and CAS 2 at the same time?

I have two 512MB sticks of OCZ technologies CAS 2 333mhz DDR and it has been great stuff so far. These sticks come with aluminum heat spreaders on them already.
