fyo, re: "I think it's almost certain that Tbred will debut on a 2x166MHz FSB" At first I was concerned that there may not be enough PC2700 available for synchronous (and highest performing) systems with 2x166MHz FSB. However, PW has 4 full pages of 256MB with an first page average of $74 vs 22 pages of PC2100 w/ avg of $56. So, the memory seems to be there. Who is using PC2700 at the moment, especially since it isn't per a JEDEC standard so could have noise/compatibility problems? EDIT: Some reference and a graphic from Vanshardware article on Platform Conference DDD333 presentation. vanshardware.com "As we mentioned in our first day coverage, DDR333 (PC2700) is not expected to reach volume until the third quarter of this year when yields (the percentage of good chips to bad) should begin to exceed 30%. You might be wondering about current PC2700 DIMMs available from a few vendors. According to a talk given by VIA's Allan Chen, these modules are based on DDR333 DRAM parts, but placed on DDR266 PCBs. The combination yields noisy module performance. Mr. Chen suggests that buyers demanding utmost system stability delay purchases for PC2700 DIMMs until module availability occurs later this year for memory based upon JEDEC's new DDR333 DIMM standard. This specification includes the new DDR333 PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design. -PT
