    I am ordering a bunch of pc components I messed up my ram order with ocuk and am wondering if i can use a 256mb pc100 ram dimm i have temporarily ie (until my 2*Crucial PC133 256mb dimms arrive. So i only want to know if it will work i realise if it does it will drag the performance down quite a bit

    It will work at 100Mhz for certain (unless it's broken).

    If you have a 133Mhz chip, that's not unlocked, you're going to be in for a hell of a performance dip! wink.gif

    Put simply, you're going to have to run your FSB at 100MHz.

    I would be more intelligible, only I'm quite tired.

    You will just have to set the board to 100mhz bus, and it will run ok. You could also try running the ram at 133, ram quality has improved so much that there is quite a lot of overhead.
