Do any P4's over a gig speed use PC-133 Ram?

[Doc]

The title pretty much says it. Do any P4's say faster than 1 gig use PC-133
Ram? Or was that left behind with PIII's?

Yes. Up to about 1.5 ghz i've seen. There's a lot of transonial boards
in that range that support ddr and pc133 (though not sumultaneously).

Dimm support is specific to chipsets not CPUs. E.g. Intel's Brookdale
chipset (i845) supported PC133 memory and P4's way above 1GHz.

It's the motherboard that'll determine that and there were a few, but not
many. All in socket 478, I think.

A quick check on pricewatch brought up a DFI-NB72-SC for $39 that says
"Supported Intel Pentium 4 400 MHz FSB 1.5/ 1.6/ 1.7 / 1.8/ 1.9 /2.0n /2.2
GHz. up to 3 GB RAM (PC100/PC133) -SDRAM MEMRY SUPPORT"

in that range that support ddr and pc133 (though not sumultaneously).

I have a board with a P4 1.8GHz and 3x512MB of PC133 Works fine.
The chipset used for that was 845 Brookdale from Intel. I believe
the fastest processor ever used in the board, would be a
2.8GHz/FSB400 processor. The machine would still be good enough
today as a surf/email machine.

I was surprised how many 845 based boards are listed here:

ive got a 478 p4 running @ 2Ghz with 4 sdram pc133

one of the original 845 intel sets that supported socket 478 did this. at
the time there were both versions of the 845 out one supported ddr the other
sdr. asus p4b and p4pe are examples of this

 

[Ben Myers]

Intel, Asus, DFI and others made motherboards with 845 chipsets and usually 3
DIMM sockets permitting up to 1.5GB of memory. The Socket 478 processors in
these boards are limited to 400MHz front-side bus, so the fastest possible CPU
is either a 2.4GHz (maybe 2.5 or 2.6?) Pentium 4 or a 2.7GHz (maybe 2.8?)
Celeron. In some of these boards, the BIOS may limit the maximum processor
speed... Ben Myers

You are correct. Time to upgrade.

I'm shocked, amazed and transfixed that you actually stated something
that was not filled with hatred. Good job.

Any Pentuim class machine will still do that. If you want video, you'll
want a p2 at least. The kicker is you need to get at least 128 MB ram
in order for the perfomance to be OK.

And I saw a 17 year old mac actually go online. (Slow, even on
broadband, The graphics rendering was a major bottleneck).

The oddest one I've heard about is the dual celeron board. I acutally
know a fellow who has one.

Good on you. Go to www.intel.com, download the chipset ID utility, go
from there.

****wits deserve to be told they are such since usually they don't realize
it. take john doe for example

Instead of posting to an excessive number of newsgroups you
might consider using a search engine- this is readily
available information.

that's not all he has mastered. i hear he wanks his crank a bit too!
