I am looking at upgrading my MB to an NF7-s rev 2.0 and would like to keep the RAM I have (for the moment, one thing at a time for $$ sake). Will the 128 mb and 256 mb sticks of PC133 SDRAM I have now work in that board? If so, any real drawbacks to running it (other than how it limts OC'ing)
Thanks
Brian

The NF7-S, as well as any other Nforce2 Motherboard, accepts only DDR Memory. PC133 will not work, and will not fit in the motherboard.

Heck If your going to do all that... Id get a new CPU as well... maybe a 1700+ from newegg for $44... even the DUT3C tbredB's overclock really well. I got one for my bro that does 2ghz on stock voltage.

mmm nf7-s, xp1700 dlt3c and twinmos pc3200. That has to be the absolute best combo you can get for the money right now.

Click to expand...

NF7-S 2.0, 1GB (2 x 512MB in Dual Channel) PC3200, and a 2100+ AUIGB here.....I'll say it's a pretty good combo.

I'll agree...get some good PC3200. Even if you can only swing one stick of 512MB Corsair XMS right now....you can add to that in the future for running in Dual Channel.
