IBM Aptiva E85 uses 100MHz memory bus: www5.pc.ibm.com <<Re: "Not one tier 1 or tier 2 OEM has a higher than 66Mhz socket 7 MB in their systems, know why? " Let me guess... Because they don't work to a reliability level required by tier1 & tier2 vendors. How'd I do? EP>> --------------- As you see, you and Stocky are wrong again. As always.

One of the IBM Aptiva's (K6-2-300) has 100 MHz bus. Tomshardware.com said he did not have difficulties with any of the 11 motherboards he tested. Socket 7 motherboard problems are a thing of the past. Recently I stumbled across a motherboard review in a German publication, which painted a pretty bad picture of the current Super7 motherboards, particularly in terms of quality and reliability. I now have to draw a preliminary finish line to give you my opinion about the current state. Compared to the big socket 7 review I did last year I have to say that I didn't have more troubles this time than I had back then. The majority of the tested boards runs reliably at 100 MHz front side bus clock with PC-100 SDRAM. 350 MHz systems will all run at 100 MHz bus Petz
