After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

General notes:
Much like the other DDR333 board reviewed here at Ninjalane.com the system would refuse
to be tweaked while the memory clock was set to 166MHz and no overclocking was possible unless we set the memory clock to 133MHz.
During the following tests while the Athlon processor was running at default speed the memory clock was set to 166MHz with
memory timing being controlled by SPD. During the overclocking benchmarks the memory clock was
running at the same speed as the FSB and memory timing set to 2.0-2-2.
