OK supposedly you can run dual channel DDR on an IS7 with a 533 FSB cpu, right?

I just wanted to double check because some people in this forum have had some problem running dual DDR with a 533 FSB cpu. It behaves differently.

I just wanted to double check because I noticed the MSI Neo2, which received the editor's choice award form Tom's Hardware for MB of the year, requires you to have a 800 FSB cpu if you were to run dual DDR orDDR400.

I have a fast 2.4B cpu and wanted to upgrade the MB and run dual DDR with my Buffalo BH-5 PC3700 CL2.5 or CL3....not sure
 
The Abit IC7 and IS7 does work fine in dual channel mode with 533 CPUs. You just have to use two sticks of RAM in the correct slots. I've had 2.0A/400, 2.66/533, 2.4C/800, and 2.8C/800 CPUs on my IC7 and dual channel worked perfect everytime.
