NF7-s and pc133 ram.... OK?

Barnstormer · 07-21-03, 07:41 PM

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

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.

:O... try to get some decent ram for this mobo (pc3200 at least) your games will apreciate that

Just making sure. Guess new RAM is in the budget now, too.

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.

KFC - It is againts the rules for you to offer anything for sale outside of the classifieds. Don't do it again.

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.
