<"133MHz system bus". That's not the same as support for
133MHz SDRAM (PC133).>
Allow me to disagree. Currently, every other
motherboard supports 133, 140 and even 150MHz
bus AND DRAM timing. What is more interesting, the
boards actually run at these frequencies!
The major "inconvenience" for box makers
is that recent Pentiums are multiplier-locked,
therefore you need to significantly overclock
processors if you want to take advantage of
faster memory. When Intel will "support 133MHz
system bus", this obstacle will be gone,
and say bye-bye to RAMBUS world domination
(Intel-sponsored).
See now the move?
