You stupid ****s, 266Mhz DDR-RAM uses 133Mhz Bus, like the one Apple has in their systems right now, some people call it 266 but it isn't, it's 133, like DDR-RAM is also 133Mhz only the memory is accessed twice during each cycle, so 133x2 is 266Mhz, there's no such thing as 266 bus, the fastest on market FSB is 166 which uses 166x2(333) DDR-RAM. Fastest RDRAM uses 133 bus and is called 533 because it's 133x4
also Apple designs the Motherboards not Motorola.
so stop thinking that the G4 can't handle DDR-RAM, cause it's got all to do with the motherboard, so in the Xserve when they say 133 bus it's what people who don't know any better call 266

Well you twit, since you seem to like slinging mud you should first consider that its not all about the motherboard... the G4 does not understand data transfers on the leading and trailing edges of the clock signal and thus cannot work with DDR regardless of what the motherboard does. Yes DDR uses a 133 MHz clock, but it does something special with it and if the processor doesn't understand that something special then you don't get the extra bandwidth. That's why the Apple documentation shows that the XServe's processor <-> memory bandwidth is only 1 GB/sec.

Fastest bus is DDR-200, ie 400MHz effective.

Sheesh.
