PC133 SDRAM?

[Spencer]

Is PC133 SDRAM backwards compatible. I have been thinking of pulling my cheap generic (won't O.C.)PC100 out and trying brand name PC133. I have a Abit BE6. Thanks.

yes, it is. but pc100 is also forwards compatible (???). Mines a 133 no probs.

I can't get past 105 FSB and have it still be stable. It boots to windoz but hangs in UT and 3DMark2K. I assume it is the fault of my ram?

[Apostle 83]

Well, it might be your ram, might be your cpu, might be your mobo. I'm pretty new to overclocking...
But, probably just cheap ram.

Well i am also new but i think ram will go as fast as your bus speed?? Like 133 will default @ 100 if thats the speed and 112 if thats your bus. You get my drift.. Sorry if im wrong

Yo Spencer!

Can I have your PC100? My fsb is max 83, will do a fine job for me! I'm lookin' for another 64 MB PC100!

Well I pulled 96MB out that was generic and I left 64MB Fujitsu PC100 in and I'm @575 rock solid. Going to try 600 later. And am going to by 64 more brand name PC100. That should do it, I hope. Might just be lucky ram. Sorry TidalWave it's already taken. Thanks.
