Elmer, the i820/Coppermine/RDRAM situation is complex. Sorry if my post was unclear: You want to rewrite this one Petz? You just said: 1) It's possible that no CuLaterMine's will run on BX motherboards. 2) It may be possible to runlow-end 100 MHz CuLaterMine's on BX motherboards. 3) CuLaterMine MUST be run using RDRAM. Explanation: if (1) is true, then CuMine can only be run using RDRAM on Intel motherboards; the only way to use SDRAM would be by using a non-Intel i820 motherboard which uses the RD/SD translation device; this will slow performance even more than RDRAM (apparently) does. If (1) is not true, then only 100 MHz FSB CuMines could be used on BX motherboards using SDRAM, since the BX does not support 133 MHz FSB. Of course SDRAM could also only run at 100 MHz. Petz
