Title: FSB question
Post by: jetb123 on August 04, 2004, 04:02:58 AM

If my frontsidebus. Is 266, does that mean I can only get ram that has a speed of 266? Which would be pc2100.

No you can use pc2700. Don't know if any higher than that though.

You can use ram of any speed but higher will only run at your FSB speed. i.e. DDR400 will only run at DDR266 speeds. Only caveat is that you have to set the set speed manually in the BIOS to 266 and not let the BIOS auto detect the speed.
