In order to operate the Athlon XP at a maximum clock speed of 1866 MHz, we increased the Front Side Bus and memory speed to 155 MHz (12.0 x 155 MHz = 1866 MHz). Such a clock speed is not possible with normal DDR SDRAM modules (PC2100 or DDR266). For this reason, we used the fastest DDR333 module, which is suited to running at 166 MHz. In the near future, new memory modules that run up to 266 MHz (DDR400 and DDRII/533) will be available. According to the SiS roadmap, the corresponding chipsets should begin to make their appearances starting in July or December of this year.
