Memory Speeds

Hey Scott (ADK),

With the proliferation of the new 3 series chipsets, I suppose it doesn't matter
all that much, but I found it amusing that even the tech site you do trust lists
the max memory speed for the 975x chipset at 667, not 800. :)

Hilarious,

typical! copy paste from old white papers.... think the issue is when Intel
wrote those white papers Jedec had only approved of DDR2 667.

but if you look here for the spec on the XBX2
 <http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D975XBX2/index.htm>

it lists DDR2 800 (the board was released after Jedec approved of DR2 800 as a
real spec) note Jedec still has not approved of DDR 2 1000. however any 975
board is being able to support it. (technically DDR2 1000 and above is nothing
more than overclocked DDR 800 chips)

Sheesh gotta love these tech doc writers...
