I have ordered a Granite Bay mobo (8inxp) and a 2.53 Ghz p4 processor. I understand that the GB chipset only supports 266 Mhz DDR but can I put faster memory in anyway ? Are there any disadvantages ? I was thinking of using the faster DDR (maybe 333 Mhz) since I plan to OC slightly.

You can use DDR 333 with this motherboard since you are going to overclock your system.

I read somewhere that the granite bay chipset will only run dual ddr on 266Mhz, although I'm not sure if that means it will only support 266Mhz officially, or that anything above that will be one channel only. anyone?
