I am thinking about buying an Abit KG7-Raid, but I have a few questions...

I have the 200MHz FSB Athlon chip, will it work in this MB? And if so, do I buy the PC2100, or the PC1600 RAM?

I know that the PC2100 is for 266, and the PC1600 is 200, but if I buy the PC2100, and run my Athlon (200 FSB) 1.2GHz, will it work? Is the PC2100 Backwards compatable?

Please help...
 
Most likely, if your chip is unlocked, it will be able to run at the 266 fsb, just at a lower multiplier. You should also buy the pc2100 ram, which is backwards compatible. If you plan on OC'ing a lot, you might also want to get pc2400 instead of pc2100, it will let you run your fsb higher and still have fast timings on your ram.
