PC2700 support in SOYO K7V Dragon Plus

External Since: Aug 22, 2004 Posts: 5

I have an Athlon XP that has worked well for past two years with Corsair
XMS PC2700 RAM even though the Via KT266A chipset officially supports
only PC1600&2100 RAM.
I get frequent lockups in Flight Simulatro games, and One forum
participant said it was because of my "unsupported memory".
Is anyone using this memory successfully in this chipset?

Thanks,

Jorge

The memory is backwards compatible so that's not your problem. It's
just capable of faster speeds than you are using it for. It's kinda
like underclocking a 2Ghz processor to run at 1.5Ghz. It'll do it
just fine, but can go faster.
