Pc100 Sdram

Is it ok to run PC100 RAM with the FSB set @ 133MHz? To be on the safe side, I currently have it at 100MHz and my "tbird" is only 850 MHz

so i wanted to know if i can use my pc100 ram with the FSB set at 133MHz...thanks

you can but your going to be working the ram, i suggest getting pc133 or pc 150 sdram that way its not stressed, see how high you can run it stable at pc100, if you dont like the results buy faster ram
Welcome to the forums!!

ok thanks...but exactly how would i know its running stable?? is the fact that it WORKS evidence enough to keep running it at 133? because before i realized that it was pc100, i ran my pc100 ram with fsb 133 for a couple months. and it seemed to work fine...

heres how i test stability,
1st will it boot into windows

next i run normal apps for a few hours winamp explorer, aol, ect...if i dont get any blue screens or crashes i know its stable at pretty much idle temps

then comes some more cpu intensive stuff, i play quake 3 arena for a good 2 or 3 hours, again if no crashes/reboots,bluescreens occur system seems pretty stable

finally i use a burn in program something like CPUBurn or Toast and run that for about 45 minutes ( it uses 100% of your cpu ) and if it doesnt crash during that its safe to say the system is rock stable, of course you could skip all these and go right down to CPUBurn but i like to take baby steps

ok thanks...

ive ripped DVD for 3 hours and it took 100% (literally) of my CPU when i had it 133MHz...lol does that count??
