Cirrus, They used Cas 3 PC133 instead of Cas 2 to make the DDR platform look faster! But they have used CAS 2.5 DDR, so we may see another minor performance increase when CAS 2 DDR becomes available. Joe

This explains why Gigabyte mobo has only 2 DIMM slots: The 761 chipset supports an astounding 4GB of memory. To achieve this memory ceiling, four banks of registered 256-Mbit DIMM modules must be used. Unfortunately, when unbuffered DIMMs are being utilized, only two memory slots may be filled leaving the remaining slots empty. While our reference board shipped with four DIMM slots, we should expect to see many of the value (if there is such a thing) motherboards shipping with only two slots due to this limitation. sharkyextreme.com Joe
