Best use for PC133?

[chuckiechan]

Is the PIII 600B with 133 FSB, mean it is maximized for PC133 memory? My Tyan 371 is good for it, but I just want to get it clear in my mind before I buy the processor.

The multiplier must be locked at 4.5. that is a guess and not hard fact but it makes sense. Otherwise they would be advising you to oc and Intel is anti-oc. 4.5 w/ a 133MHz fsb = 600 if you have PC100 ram that won't do 133 then you will b e spending money on more than just a CPU.
I could be wrong though. I haven't worked with the PC133 before

Thanks for the info, you answered my question...

I tyan has the via chipset which "auto detects" the fsb. My Cel @ 66, and will detect the P3/600b @ 133. There is a jumper that I set @ 4.5 like you said, so I guess I can start price watching...

This is not an overclockers board due to auto-detect, but I compromised to get the dma 66, plus fsb 133...
