KT400 Conspiracy??

[AlphaFox]

I have a MSI KT7V Motherboard.
I have DDR3500 from Corsair
I have a Athlon unlocked / FSB 166
With this combo, you cant run the CPU FSB at 166 and run the memory at 200. according to MSI, its a 'chipset limitation' as indicated in a tech doc. on there site. e-mailed tech support and they said 'with a fsb of 166 you cant run memory at 200' bluntly.
Does this go for ALL KT400 motherboards?? if not which boards allow this, or is it realy at 'chipset issue.' if another MB manuf. that uses the KT400 can do it, the its just the MSI boad that has some issue. please help me out here.

Why would anyone want the KT400?

No this is a limitation with all KT400 boards, and the 333 as well.
At 166FSB or beyond the memory speed is set to be synchronous with the FSB.

333FSB/400RAM really wouldnt give you much of a perforance boost anyway.
