Abit TH7II - 533 FSB?

[Guest]

Anyone know if the abit TH7II will be compatible with the new 533/2.53GHz P4? Currently running a 400/2GHz. I know the FSB can be increased to 133, but unclear (to me) what's happening with the memory channel on the RDRAM and if that too is increasing(?). Any help?

thanks

You'll need either overclockable RDRAM, PC1066, or use the PC600 setting.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

or reducing the FSB/memory clock ratio to 3/4, not recemmended anyway!

Currently running a 2GHz P4, wanting to understand when the 533/2.53GHz chip come out, if I can use this MB or if I have to get another. With the 400/2.4GHz chip coming out, I also see the current BIOS doesn't support that either... Maybe a new BIOS update?

That board does not officially support the "533" setting but can usually work with it anyway, because it's an overclockers board. It will work with any Socket 478 "400" bus P4 without even modifying the settings.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

That's what I meant by "using PC800 at the PC600 setting".

Any idea where to buy PC1066 RDRAM or if it's even available yet? thanks.

Not available yet, but Samsung will run at PC1066, from everything I've heard. Mine does.
