I've been running the A7A266 w/ PC133 for a few months, and am very happy
with it. (It is supposed to support DDR too, but I have not tried it.)

A bit pricey for a m.b., but it works.

FWIW, it uses the ALi M1647 north and ALi M1535D+ south. The kernel
mis-recognizes the latter as a ALI15X3, but it still works.

And since we're on the subject (again), I'll mention (again) that I have a
couple of bogo-howtos for this board at
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/bdbryant/howtos/hardware/asus-a7a266/.

Good luck,
