FSB newbie question

[lai918]

If my PC has a 100MHz FSB. Is there a way to set it to 133Mhz FSB??? Since I have a PC133 module. I read in crucial that the PC133
modules that you install will only operate at 100MHz. So even if I set the DRAM clock in Bios to 133 MHZ, it wont do anything?

This is my motherboard info :
Biostar M7MKE
It said it support PC-133 RAM.
I just took out my 256 PC-100 SDRAM (CAS3) and replace it with a PC-133 SDRAM Micron (CAS2). I wonder if I need to change the FSB or change any setting in the BIOS so that it works in optimum condition.

You need to set DRAM clock to Host CLK +33 in Advanced Chipset Features in the BIOS.

yes indeed, if you up your FSB from 100 to 133 in bios you will be overclocking your system as well as your pci slots, memory, etc. so its best to have pc133 in that case.
just be sure to get some good cooling in there.
