Yea yea it's an mATX mobo. :eek:

I bought that mobo from NewEgg. On their site it says 400Mhz FSB and DDR400. The manufacturer's site also states that.
But when I got it and checked out the box, it says DDR333 right on the box. Even the manual says it supports up to DDR333.
What the heck? I got the right model, so I don't know what's up.
Anyone have experience with this mobo? I wanna know if it's just a mistake on the box and manual and it's ok to use my DDR400 RAM at that speed.
Either that or I send it back and get a different mATX mobo from NewEgg....
 
Nevermind. I couldn't wait for my case, so I borrowed someone else's for now.
Put it all together and stuff.
I can run DDR400 just fine. I guess it only supports up to 333 if you use IGP.
The board is ok. You can change the FSB, Multi, voltage.
I was dissapointed that the max voltage you could apply for the RAM is 2.8v. My RAM (Geil Ultra Platinum PC3500) needs 3.1v to run at it's max. I did get the FSB up to 420Mhz though. I got it to run @ 2.4Ghz with 210x11.5.
I'm itching to get it up to 2.5Ghz. :D
