orly,
where did you get your 7ns,CAS2 PC100 RAMs?
i'm having problems looking for CAS2 SDRAMS. even a PC133 RAM but with CAS3
won't work properly on a 440BX at 133MHz. what i found out though is that
PC100 RAMs with Hyundai chips work well even if they're CAS3. but these
Hyundai chips are difficult to find as well. i have two client systems
working well right now with BXMaster boards on 133MHz PIII CPUs with
PC100/CAS3/Hyundai chips SDRAMs. my previous builds had PC100/CAS2 as you
mentioned.
anybody has a source for SDRAMs with Hyundai chips?
