I recently gave a P3-733 to my brother in law, I ran this chip for close to a year before recently purchasing an athlon. I gave him the pentium with the mobo that I used for it also, I sold the RAM after I stopped using the computer, because the new one used pc2100. Sounds perfectly normal, right? Wrong.
He went out, bought Simple Technologies for RAM. 2 128 meg sticks, both pc133,, I checked and I also borrowed a stick of pc133 ram from the guy I sold them too. This machine will not run at 133mhz FSB. The machine runs perfectly stable, perfectly normal at 132. It will boot to windows, in 133, then give all sorta of protection errors, DLL errors, and even fry the registry somtimes. The 733 is 133mhz FSB chip, which is why this makes no sense. It's the same brand of memory I used on the board before. I've attempted to use both of the sticks of memory by itself, it had no hardware in it, except a ATI Rage 128, CD-ROM and a Hard drive(I took the rest out trying to eliminate the problem). If anyone has ANY idea what the problem may be.
