Usual stuff under the advanced chipset options..

Ooo... DDR settings...
The
biggest letdown for me was the severe lack of adjustable bus speeds in the BIOS. It seems
these days that every manufacturer has 1 MHz adjustments up to 200 MHz - even
on Iwill's own KK266 line! However, the KA266 maxes out at only 146 MHz!
Also, the adjustable steps are
between 1-7 MHz making it very difficult for a tweaker to fine tune his/her
system. Using my 1 GHz T-Bird AVIA Y which I know does around 1.5 GHz, the highest
stable speed I could hit was 1470MHz. Anything higher and system would be too unstable
to finish things that were very CPU intensive even with a VCore at 1.85!
That's it?!?
Next up we have the system spec's used in the benchmarking of the KA266 along with some of
the results.
