Did you try newegg.com?
Why would you want DDR with a P3? The p3's bus has the same bandwidth as PC133.

But maybe he has a bunch of spare ddr, and a p3 processor.

Theres a 5-10% increase in performance by using ddr with a p3.
They made P3 DDR boards? Wow. Hmm might have to get one now for my P3 450....

actyually yes the p3 does only have a 133 bus BUT!
i built a computer for a friend a couple of months ago!
after i installed the os and some software .
i installed sisoft sandra and then ran it .
it reported that the front side bus was actually running at
188 front side bus / 94 agp / 47 pci speeds and yet i had
zero problems with either the sound card or pci raid card
and software installation was blazingly fast
oh by the way the ddr speed was 376 mhz and was default
jumper settings 133/66/33 mem volts at 2.65

I'm sorry but that really sounds like rambus - they had their own clock or something for the memory and overclocked decently. But that 2.65v for memory makes me uncertain (not sure what voltage rambus used). :confused:
stoopid

Either rambus or Sandra's known reporting issues, especially with older boards.
and I was amazed. I honestly had never heard of a DDR P3 board - I thought rambus was the latest memory technology that was used (after SDRAM).
Anywho - Newegg has a slim possiblitliy of carrying one - maybe a refurb. Ebay might be a little better in having one.
Still amazed... :eek:
:edit: heres one on ebay CUV266 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3427664883&category=42006)

I was going to go with a CUV266 and a Tualatin for my secondary rig, but I had trouble finding one. Package2you had new boards in stock for a while, but they're gone now. Anyway, I chose to go with the CUC2 (RDRAM) and the Tualatin; works nicely. :)

I got the CUC2 off of Ebay. Of course, I also bought a Tualatin adapter for it since it doesn't officially support Tualatins. I paid about $18 for the board and $10 for the adapter.

Soyo has a board call the SY-7VDA. It is socket 370 and has the Via Apollo Pro 266 chip set.
I looked into it awhile ago and it supposedly has a PCI lock in the bios.
Just thought you might want to look for it.
I havent come across one for awhile every once in awhile I see them for sale.

thank-you for the info .
i will look into it.
as for glob2000.com i am not impressed with them
although the website states he offers visa/mastercard
something is fishy with him regarding his demands of using paypal only .
i got a gut feeling he`s 1 of those fraudulent websites.
every body has been talking about.
