P4S533-MX: What is the fastest RAM usable?

[Arifi Koseoglu]

Hello everyone.

We have a couple P4S533-MX based PC's in-house and are going to increase the
amount of RAM installed. We are going to buy 512Meg DDR modules, but in
order to make the modules on newer systems in the future, we thought we
should buy the fastest (PC-XX00) types that would work on this MoBo., and
not be too slow in intermediate future.

The manual calls for non-ECC unbuffered PC2700 DDR. (Is this DDR-333?) What
is the practical limit? Can we use faster DDR modules without problems?

Thanks in advance,
-arifi

I have the P4S533-X motherboard and while the manual says DDR2700 is
the max speed I have a DDR3200 (all the store had and gave me it for
the same price as the DDR2700), and it works fine.
