I am planning on buying Crucial or Corsair memory for the Iwill kk266 mobo..what kind should i get? does this board support DDR?
 
The IWILL KK266 board is based on the VIA KT133A chipset and does NOT support DDR memory.

The KA266 does support DDR memory and is based on the ALi Magik chipset.

If I were buying DDR memory at this point, I would just get the PC1600 from Crucial/Micron. It is really inexpensive and Crucial is known for their high quality and stable RAM (113.00 for 256 megs of PC1600 DDR the last time I checked) while I have seen PC2100 from Mushkin for $395. That is just terrible price:performane ratio imho. If you can wait I would just wait until micron releases their PC2100 because I'm sure that it will be quite a bit cheaper than others.

thnx ..ill prolly stay with the kk266 since i have heard so much good things about the 133a chipset.

This is a quote from the Iwill site on the KK266
"Bus Frequency
Supports DDR 266/200 MHz FSB
MicroStepping Iwill CPU Frequency Setting
Bye-Bye Jumper Iwill Smart Setting (Software CPU Frequency Setting) "

I don't know what that means but if the board does not support DDR that is a bit misleading.

See it here
 
the KK266 and KK266-r do NOT support DDR ,,the 200-266 fsb is in refrence to the EV6 bus the runs twice the sdram speed(BTW ,,this board kicks *** :)
