Asus A7M266: Variable RAM Voltage
Two major characteristics of the Asus A7M266 are the AGP Pro slot and the chipset's Northbridge which is furnished with a fan.
A rare appearance: The Asus A7M266 is supposed to be only available to the OEM market. End users will probably not get to see this board in retail shops.
The Asus A7M266 is generously equipped: Its equipment with a sound chip, AGP Pro slot and Ethernet controller leave hardly any room for criticism. The board's memory remains limited to 512 MB however, because the board manufacturer only allowed room for two memory slots.
There might be problems with the board design of the memory interface in general, as all three testing candidates prefer not to use more than two slots. One positive aspect to point out is that the Asus A7M266 offers the option of adjusting the voltage for the DDR memory modules. This allows aggressive memory timing while avoiding stability problems. We don't know however, how well the DDR-memory takes an increased voltage over a longer period.
