P4G8X and DDR333 or DDR400???

I almost bought this motherboard but when i read the motherboard manual i saw that it only supports DDR266 or DDR200, and that there is no support of DDR333 or higher. But i saw some benchamrks following the links found on http://www.asus.com and i saw system specifications and there stands that they used DDR400 mhz for benchmarking??? How is it possible??? I really wanted this chipset -E7205 but i now want asus p4pe 533. Am i wrong??? Please help and thanks in advance

P4G8x officially supports only up to DDR266. However, if u plan to overclock ur system you can use DDR333 or even DDR400. This would especially make sense if u planned on getting a low speed p4 cpu (i.e. 1.8Ghz) and overclock it where high FSB's would be a must. In such a case u should safeguard that memory is not a bottleneck in order u to have a stable system with high FSB and agressive memory timings.
My personal experience has showed that E-7205 is a stable chipset at well above 133FSB. I have been running the 3.06Ghz @3.66Ghz@1.68V on a VapoChill with 159FSB without any problems. To make the most of P4G8X deluxe u must download the latest hacked BIOS which allows u to bypass the safe memory settings that are automatically locked if u exceed the predifined FSB speed.

Mate, your gonna be better off waiting for the Springdale or Canterwood boards, dont bother with the Granite Bays. I have the P4G8X Deluxe and ill do you a good deal on it if you like when i get a Springdale LOL
What neroulis says is spot on i also have a 3.06 running on a 161 FSB for 3702mhz Vapochilled, but the ram is only at 322mhz DDR Sad
So do yourself a favour and wait for the Springdales or Canterwoods, when we can finally get some good Dual DDR Bandwidth.
