IME Micron PC133 CL3 always tests clean and runs stable at 222 on P2B
boards. Other brands frequently show a few errors per pass in memtest86
and must be run at 333 for stability.


Lucky one..

I have two P2B-S systems running Tualatin processors @ 150Mhz FSB with
512MB (2x256) of Corsair PC150 CL2, long term stable. I'd get more of the
same RAM if I could find it...

Very expensive...

What I don't understand is why they won't detect 512MB - but my test
system with the same board and BIOS revisions, and same RAM voltage
(within 100mV) does so every time.


The BX cannot fully recognise 512MB Dimms. If you mean 2x256MB then try to
insert one in slot0 and the other in slot2, leaving the second slot, slot1
empty.

I find that hard to believe - even the best Tualatin cores top out around
1700Mhz, and what would you use for RAM?

Who knows what kind of RAM you can buy in Japan. As you know, the most
companies, like NEC are from Japan. Maybe a PC180 Cl.2!? With special
cooling you can go to unbelievable MHz. But this is all uninteresting. A
fine PC should have a consumption of 50 to maximal 200 Watts. With more I
should sit on it and drive and not siiting behind it ;-)
