Any DIMMs used in this computer must meet the following specifications:• 168 pins, JEDEC standard• 83 MHz, unbuffered• 64 bits (non-parity only)• Single- or double-sided DIMMs (with certain restrictions;see “Memory Configurations” on page 37).• +3.3V
This is a bit perplexing to me. I'm not sure if this means the board is running at 83MHz FSB (and thus out of spec for a regular Socket 7), the memory can run out of sync with the FSB, or the manual is simply wrong. Anyone able to chime in and give their thoughts please?
As this is a more obscure OEM board with a fairly basic BIOS, I've not been able to verify what's actually going on with frequencies beyond the CPU core clock. I've tried Everest, CPU-Z Retro and HWinfo.
